The Janice Ann Reinauer/RTC 84 ATB passed Hoboken’s Lackawanna terminal in light rain on Thursday afternoon. The unit was now underway but the crew would have just witnessed a tragic helicopter accident or the immediate aftermath of the crash a bit south of here and had been holding position for over an hour mid-river near the scene during the initial rescue efforts. The Lackawanna terminal was once the eastern terminus of the Delaware Lackawanna and Western Railroad and later the Erie Lackawanna. It is the only one of several such rail/ferry terminals which once existed along the North River which is still serving in its original role. The clock tower is actually a replacement completed in 2008–the original was removed in the 1950s after storm damage.
