Not exactly art or design news, however the subject has been photographed by myself many times because it was likely where Asher B. Durand painted "Sabbath Bells," namely the Hoboken Ferry terminal and train station in the 19th century, today almost unrecognizable because of the beaux art train station linking the Ferry and the ill fated NJ Transit station site of todays horrific train derailment.
As the photos show, the location has had more than its share of recent bad luck, yet remains a hauntingly beautiful location on the Hudson. Now perhaps one might say simply a haunted location on the Hudson.
To read an example of today's coverage of the derailment:
