Nearing the end of the "Hudson River Line"         
A Public Service trolley on the Hudson River Line is inspected by its motorman in Paramus NJ. This service was abandoned on August 5, 1938. The photo has a notation on the back "8/38, abandoned a week later." The Hudson River Line took one from the ferry terminal in Edgewater to Paterson, via Hackensack, and was the only "railroad" in Paramus. The car is a 1913 product of Public Service's own shops. The very last run would be made by this car's sister, 3540. Photographer is unknown. #3532 was built in 1912 at the Public Service Newark Shops for the Bergen Division. It was scrapped at Passaic Wharf in Newark during 1938/39.
