From Hoboken to the Heights

Hoboken lies along the Hudson river. Behind the city rise the Palisades with Jersey City and West Hoboken at the top. Various methods were devised to move people and goods from Hoboken to Jersey City Heights including inclines, steps and wagon lifts. West Hoboken no longer exists. It is now part of Union City.
