Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Hoboken Terminal" in English language version.
The natural barrier which has separated New York from New Jersey since those States came into existence was, figuratively speaking, wiped away at 3:40½ o'clock yesterday afternoon when the first of the two twin tubes of the McAdoo tunnel system was formally opened, thus linking Manhattan with Hoboken, and establishing a rapid transit service beneath the Hudson River.
Several decades later, the Hoboken Terminal distinguished itself as the nation's first centrally air-conditioned public space.
