	River Line (Conrail) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The River Line began at CP Waldo, at a junction with the Passaic and Harsimus Line.
		The River Line was abandoned south of the Tonnelle Avenue overpass (just south of CSX's North Bergen Terminal); the short connection between the National Docks Secondary and the River Line was also abandoned, as was the Weehawken Branch.
		The River Line north of Weehawken was originally built as the West Shore Railroad and later leased by the New York Central Railroad.

	Hudson River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Hudson was originally named the "North River" by the Dutch, because it was the river that marked the northern most reaches of the New Netherland colony.
		The Hudson River Railroad was chartered the next year as a continuation of the Troy and Greenbush south to New York City, and was completed in 1851.
		The Hudson River serves as a political boundary between the states of New Jersey and New York, and further north between counties in New York.

		They attribute the drop in September to the closing of the state aquarium on the Camden Waterfront, which proved to be a major destination for River LINE riders, and the reopening of area schools, depriving the line of some excursion trips.
		In September, when the River LINE passed its six-month milestone, NJ Transit officials said the line had reached an average weekday ridership of 5,679 trips for the last week of August.
		The original projections for the controversial line, used to justify its construction, were for 9,300 daily trips the first year, rising to 16,300 by the time the line was 20 years old.

	6abc.com: River Line Finding More Riders after 2 Years
		Whether the River Line would become a cost-effective way to move commuters has always been a big question, largely because the line stretches through several old industrial communities where the population has declined.
		But for the River Line, which cost around $600 million to build, the federal government did not help because it didn't think the line was necessary.
		North said the River Line is trying to be convenient to the growing number of southern New Jersey residents who work in New York City, by setting schedules that accommodate transfers with NJ Transit's Northeast Corridor line.

		Fall River is served by the New York, New Haven and Hartford railway, and has good steamer connections with Providence, Newport and New York, notably by the Fall River Line, which is much used, in connection.
		The Fall river runs directly through the city (passing beneath the city hail), and along its banks are long rows of cotton mills; formerly many of these were run by water power, and their wheels were placed directly in the stream bed, but steam power is now used almost exclusively.
		Fall River was originally a part of Freetown; it was incorporated aSa township in 1803 (being known as Troy in 1804-1834), and was chartered as a city in 1854.

	Camden-Trenton River LINE Light Rail (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		New Jersey Transit's River LINE (yes, the second word is officially all upper case) extends about 34 miles from Camden (across the Delaware river from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) to Trenton (the state capital).
		Therefore, the River LINE is considered to be a light-rail operation similar to those that have been built in many U. cities since the 1970s.
		The River LINE is being justified as a spur to economic development of the riverfront towns between Camden and Trenton, which have lost much of their traditional manufacturing industry.

	Camden-Trenton: River Line Light Railway Gains Riders, Spurs Economic Development
		Southern New Jersey's River Line light railway – connecting Camden and Trenton with diesel-electric multiple-unit (DEMU) trains – despite heavy criticism from naysayers, has nevertheless been a big hit with the public, and reportedly is attracting more riders than expected since it opened in mid-March of this year (2004).
		It should be noted however, that the line is somewhat hampered by very slow street running in downtown Camden and numerous grade crossings throughout the higher-speed alignment, where trains must often slow down as a safety precaution.
		Some pro-LRT critics of the River Line have insisted that the non-electrified light railway project would somehow impair the case for expansion of bona fide electric LRT in the state of New Jersey.

		The line is expected to carry less than 6,000 fares on an average weekday, an amount, that combined with the lower fare, will make it the poorest performing rail line in the nation in terms of the fare box.

	River LINE drawing more riders
		Ridership on the River LINE was up substantially this summer over the summer before, an increase attributed to higher gasoline prices, a strong economy and the reopening of the Aquarium on the Camden Waterfront.
		"The River LINE is always going to have a considerable leisure component," Dan Stessel, a spokesman for NJ Transit, said Monday, alluding to the waterfront attractions in Camden, the sports arenas in Trenton and historical attractions such as Burlington and Bordentown cities in-between.
		The line got a recent boost in that regard from the owner of a Riverside restaurant, who has begun work on a major addition that he attributes at least in part to customers arriving on the light rail line.

	Hudson River Day Line, by Donald C. Ringwald
		The men who worked on the river, whether captains or deckhands, took great pride in their occupations, to such an extent that this pride gave the line its special character and color.
		This is primarily the story of the formation of the Day Line in 1863, of its development into the greatest organization of its kind, and of its decline through the closing season of operations, 1948.
		The management of the line from its formation in 1863 until the sale in 1949 was in the hands of one family, so probably much more was retained in the way of records and other material of all kinds than would otherwise have been the case.
