Paterson station
Originally a single track at grade, the elevated station was built between 1924 and 1930 when the Erie Railroad eliminated street level crossings on its Main Line in Paterson.The Erie Main Line ran from Jersey City to Chicago via Binghamton and Jamestown, New York, Akron and Marion, Ohio, with major branches to Buffalo and Cleveland.The EL immediately looked to reduce costs by eliminating redundant lines and consolidating passenger train routes.The Erie Limited and the Lake Cities were rerouted away from Paterson and instead over the Lackawanna main line through northwest New Jersey and the Poconos.The #21 train made a stop en route to Binghamton, where passengers could switch to the Phoebe Snow after a layover.Previously, service ran through to the Erie Pavonia Terminal in Jersey City, and to locations in New York state, Northwestern Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Chicago via the Main Line and various branches.
