Bergen Arches

"The Greatest Railroad Cut" 1910
The busiest tunnel point in the world in 1911, the six Erie Railroad tracks exiting the Bergen Arches below and four Lackawanna tracks all emerging from tunnels under Bergen Hill
The unused tunnel cut
After leaving the Erie Cut, trains traveled over city streets to reach the depot.
A map of the current active railroads of northern Hudson County. The Bergen Arches are not shown, but they are immediately adjacent to the Bergen Tunnel which is the part blue line marked "Conrail National Docks Branch" which runs between the tunnel portal just east of the West End Junction (bottom center) and the tunnel portal just west of the connection with the Conrail River Line stub.

Bergen Arches is an abandoned railroad right of way through Bergen Hill (the lower New Jersey Palisades) in Jersey City, New Jersey.
