dc.descriptionThe Jersey City Terminal Train Shed was designed in 1914 by Abraham Lincoln Bush and is the largest of this type designed by Bush ever built. Located adjacent to the historic Central Railroad of New Jersey Terminal designed by Peabody and Stearns in 1889, the shed was the loading space for trains entering and leaving Jersey City via the terminal. The structure consists of cast iron columns, steel framing spanning the former tracks, and reinforced concrete canopy roofs over the platforms. The framing itself forms arched structural shapes over the former tracks, retaining the original design which provided open slots of space directly over the locomotives to allow smoke to vent to the atmosphere and not be trapped below the canopy. The train shed is listed on the New Jersey and National Registers of Historic Places.
