Little Ferry Yard

Little Ferry Yard is a railyard and intermodal terminal in the Port of New York and New Jersey served by the CSX River Subdivision (CSXT), New York, Susquehanna and Western Railway (NYSW), Norfolk Southern Railway and Conrail Shared Assets Operations (CRCX). Originally developed by NYSW, it was later acquired by CSX. Located in Ridgefield, New Jersey and extending into Ridgefield Park, it takes its name from the ferry that used to travel across the Hackensack at approximately this location—the town on the western side, Little Ferry, was also named for this ferry. The yard's street address is in Babbitt, North Bergen, from where it is accessible by road. It is situated at the confluence of the Hackensack River and Overpeck Creek near the Bergen Generating Station. South of the facility the River Subdivision continues to the North Bergen Yard, where it terminates. Traveling slightly further the NYSW mainline terminates at the Landbridge Terminal at the Jersey City border. The NYSW Undercliff Junction provides access to a spur to the Edgewater Tunnel, occupied by a natural gas pipeline as of 2021. and the electric cable for the Hudson Project. To the north, the lines cross north over Overpeck Creek. CSX has a two-track swing bridge. As of 2015, the NYS&W bridge was slated for replacement. The River Subdvison continues along the original West Shore Railroad alignment through Bergen County and Rockland County, New York reaching the Hudson River after passing through a tunnel at Haverstraw. It continues north to a point near Selkirk Yard where it junctions with the Port Subdivision and Castleton Subdivision. At Bogota the NYSW veers west crossing the Hackensack, and at Paterson, the Passaic River to Sparta, crossing the state line into New York at Warwick. Numerous studies to restore passenger service that would travel through the yard on have been conducted, but not materialized. The Passaic–Bergen–Hudson Transit Project proposes a station at the Vince Lombardi Park & Ride of the New Jersey Turnpike which is adjacent to the Edgewater Branch.

Rutherfurd Hall

Rutherfurd Hall is a historic house located in Allamuchy Township, Warren County, New Jersey, US. The property was added as a historic district to the National Register of Historic Places on April 24, 2013, for its significance in architecture and social history. History Rutherfurd Hall was the estate of husband and wife Winthrop Chanler Rutherfurd and Alice Morton Rutherfurd. After Alice's death from appendicitis, Rutherfurd married his second wife Lucy Mercer Rutherfurd. Construction began in 1902 and included a mansion, gardens, boathouse, swimming beach, hydroelectric powerhouse, 9-hole golf course, and kennels. Rutherfurd Hall is one of the last extant large country estates in New Jersey constructed at the turn of the 20th century, and represents the country life movement which began in America following the Civil War, when the wealthy constructed large estates in rustic settings near major cities. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt visited the estate in the 1940s to meet with Lucy Rutherfurd. In 1948, the property was donated to the Congregation of the Daughters of Divine Charity, who used it initially as a retreat and training center. Known as "Villa Madonna" during this time, the Daughters later used the building as a rest home for retired nuns. An additional wing was added to the mansion in 1959. The passage of the 2004 Highlands Water Protection and Planning Act, which placed the property in the highly development-restricted Preservation Area, dashed hopes by the religious order to sell the property to speculative development interests and they brought suit against the State of New Jersey. The Highlands Act was upheld in court, yet this contentious action eventually yielded to the more appropriate land use that exists today in which the historic character of the former estate and the integrity of the Highlands natural resources are maintained under the current ownership and the adaptive reuse of the property. The property was sold to the State of New Jersey and the Allamuchy Township School District in 2007. In 2013, the State of New Jersey awarded $50,000 to the school district for a preservation project at Rutherfurd Hall. Design The mansion was designed by Whitney Warren, and is a Tudor Revival brick and stone structure occupying three floors, with approximately 38 rooms. It has been expanded to an additional 50 rooms. The grounds were designed by the Olmsted Brothers, with the intent of creating a picturesque landscape of "well-kept, simple neatness." Current use Rutherfurd Hall is owned and managed by the Allamuchy Township School District, and is used as a community education and cultural facility. The general information phone number is (908) 852–1894. It is also rented for private functions. The Rutherfurd Hall Foundation supports projects at the site. The property is located next to Allamuchy Mountain State Park.

Bergen Generating Station

Bergen Generating Station is a natural gas-fired power plant located in Ridgefield, New Jersey. The plant is owned and operated by Parkway Generation, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of ArcLight Energy Partners Fund VII, L.P. It is adjacent to the Little Ferry railyard, within the New Jersey Meadowlands, on the banks of Overpeck Creek, near its confluence with the Hackensack River. The plant supplies electricity to New Jersey and, via the Hudson Project submarine power cable, to New York City. Originally fueled by coal it was converted to heavy fuel and gas in 1970. The power plant uses a closed loop cooling system, which eliminates the need to withdraw water from the Hackensack River for cooling. The cooling tower make-up water for the power plant uses treated wastewater from the nearby Bergen County Utilities Authority sewage treatment plant in Little Ferry, thereby eliminating the need to use potable water for cooling. A 12-hour 50 MW / 600 MWh grid battery is planned for the site. See also List of power stations in New Jersey References External links Emissions 2011

St. Antoninus Church

St. Antoninus Church is a Roman Catholic parish church located at 337 South Orange Avenue within the Archdiocese of Newark, in Newark, New Jersey. History The parish was founded in 1875, and was run by clergy of the Dominican Order until just after its 100th anniversary in 1975. Since that time the church has been run by members of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal movement. The present church building dates to 1882, and once contained a main sanctuary (still in use today), and a smaller sanctuary on the lower level of the church building. The "lower church" was largely unused since the late 1960s and was renovated into a community room in the mid-1980s. The church today serves as a regional base for the Catholic Charismatic Renewal movement, hosting a number of retreats throughout the year, as well as being a parish for its immediate neighborhood. The Gratia Plena Evangelical Community is based at the church, and the former Monastery of St. Dominic is now home to members of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal. The former Monastery is now known as the Most Blessed Sacrament Friary. The parish provided clergy support to the nearby Monastery of St. Dominic until the monastery closed in the early 2000s.
