Focusing on the construction of rail tunnels under the Hudson River, this narrative spans from the late 19th century to the early 20th century, detailing the engineering challenges and achievements that connected New Jersey and New York. These tunnels, which are still in use today despite one being temporarily out of service due to its proximity to the World Trade Center, represent the only rail crossings of the Hudson in the metropolitan area, highlighting their historical and ongoing significance.
