Wikipedia
The Delaware Water Gap is a water gap on the border of the U.S. states of New Jersey and Pennsylvania where the Delaware River cuts through a large ridge of the Appalachian Mountains. The gap constitutes the southern portion of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, which is used primarily for recreational purposes, such as rafting, canoeing, swimming, fishing, hiking, and rock climbing.
The Delaware Water Gap is a proposed rail station to be built south of the right-of-way at PA Route 2028 (River Road) in Smithfield Township, Monroe County, Pennsylvania. The new station would sit about one mile (1.6 km) west of the historic railroad station of the same name. Passenger rail service into New Jersey and New York City would be provided by NJ Transit via the Lackawanna Cut-Off.
Parking will be available at the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area visitor's center, located southwest of Interstate 80. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania recently completed improvements to the visitor’s center. A park-and-ride facility, a five-level garage with about 900 spaces, will be built in the current parking area. The amount of parking for the visitor center will remain unchanged.
Pedestrians will walk between the station platform and the parking site via PA Route 2028, which will be improved to handle the foot traffic. Cars coming from Interstate 80 will also use Route 2028.
The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad Water Gap Station is located in Delaware Water Gap, Monroe County, Pennsylvania. Service to Delaware Water Gap along what became known as the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad started in May 13, 1856. The station structure was designed by noted architect Frank J. Nies and built in 1903. It consists of two separate one-story brick buildings, a station house and freight house, joined by a common concrete platform and slate covered hipped roof. It is reflective of the Late Victorian style. The station closed to passenger service in 1952-1953, and was sold to the Borough in 1958. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 27, 2002.
