===Meadows Division=== The original PRR route in New Jersey ran to the [[Exchange Place (PRR station)|Exchange Place]] [[ferry terminal]] in Jersey City. The Meadows Division project built a new, approximately {{convert|5|mi|km|adj=on}} route from the PRR main line at [[Harrison, New Jersey]], northeast to the west end of the new tunnels. This involved constructing a new station at Harrison, [[Manhattan Transfer station|Manhattan Transfer]], along with a [[rail yard]], to provide for changing between steam and electric locomotives. Northeast from this new station the [[double track]] line was built. It crossed over the [[Hudson and Manhattan Railroad]] and [[Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad]] on the [[Sawtooth Bridges]]; the [[Hackensack River]] on the [[Portal Bridge]]; and on embankment through the [[Hackensack Meadowlands]] to the west portal of the tunnels under [[Bergen Hill]] in the [[The Palisades (Hudson River)|Palisades]].<ref name="Raymond">{{cite journal |last1=Raymond |first1=Charles W. |date=September 1910 |title= The New York Tunnel Extension of the Pennsylvania Railroad. |journal=Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers |volume=68 |issue=3 |pages=1β31 |doi=10.1061/TACEAT.0002217 |url= http://www.gutenberg.org/files/18229/18229-h/18229-h.htm |url-access=subscription }} Paper No. 1150.</ref><ref name="Cudahy"/>{{rp|29}}
