A bit of Hoboken trivia
If you had gone down to the River Lot at Stevens to get your car (or, more likely, went down to the River lot to examine the hole in the pier where your car used to be) you probably noticed train tracks in River Street (now Sinatra Drive). I had always figured these were old streetcar tracks, but they are actually freight tracks.
The Hoboken Shore Railroad ran along the Hudson, from Weehawken to the NJ Transit station (Lackawanna RR Terminal then).
It's amazing how different the waterfront looks now that shipping has moved out to deeper ports.
That's the East Asiatic Company pier buildings on the right, which were demolished to make the River Lot.
Looking the other way, you can see the Physical Plant Building, and some of the dorms and the fine road. (The passengers are an excursion from the National Model Railroad Association convention)
One last Stevens image, where you can see the steps up to campus.
Another major change in Hoboken, the Port Authority pier complex along River Street. This area is now the cycle/jogger path near the train station.
