Lackawanna Railroad Station
A second Mountain View station, this one on the Lackawanna line from Hoboken on the Boonton Branch, once stood near the Parish Drive bridge, behind the PAL facility. Evidence of the freight house platforms, stairways, track dividers, etc. are still visible. This station had passenger rail service until the 1963 realignment project. The Morris Canal passed through the western most bridge pier of the Parish Drive overpass.

Famous quotes containing the words railroad station, railroad and/or station:
“... no other railroad station in the world manages so mysteriously to cloak with compassion the anguish of departure and the dubious ecstasies of return and arrival. Any waiting room in the world is filled with all this, and I have sat in many of them and accepted it, and I know from deliberate acquaintance that the whole human experience is more bearable at the Gare de Lyon in Paris than anywhere else.”
—M.F.K. Fisher (1908–1992)
“People who make puns are like wanton boys that put coppers on the railroad tracks. They amuse themselves and other children, but their little trick may upset a freight train of conversation for the sake of a battered witticism.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
“Say first, of God above, or Man below,
What can we reason, but from what we know?
Of Man what see we, but his station here,
From which to reason, or to which refer?
Thro’ worlds unnumber’d tho’ the God be known,
‘Tis ours to trace him only in our own.
”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
