1971 Port Authority Trans Hudson Booklet

This vintage booklet from 1971 contains information of the then newly-constructed PATH terminal at the original World Trade Center in Manhattan, New York. Previously, Hudson Terminal served as the original station along the NY-NJ PATH commuter rail line until the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey acquired the railroad and station in 1962, agreeing to eventually demolish the area to make way for the future site of the World Trade Center.

Hudson Terminal operated from July 19th, 1909 to July 2, 1971. Immediately after its closure, work was underway to permanently relocate the tracks from the former site to the new PATH station at the World Trade Center, which opened for public usage on July 6th, 1971. It was in active service until September 11th, 2001, when the station was destroyed after the collapse of the former twin towers.

A new station would eventually make its way to the new landscape in 2016.
