| The Hudson-Bergen line has views across NY Harbor of Manhattan's financial district, the World Trade Center, and the Statue of Liberty . A good part of the track runs parallel to Conrail's ROW, making it rather a rail/trolley fan's double thrill. With the new line, it is now possible to see the statue of liberty from trolley windows on both sides of the Harbor: from the re-created 1900 Brooklyn Trolley, and from the brand new line in New Jersey to open some 100 years later. |
