Historical Context
The company was eventually absorbed by Public Service. Trolleys became obsolete as they were replaced by buses and personal cars. Public Service took advantage of their right to the land and used it for gas and electrical service. Little evidence of these trolleys remain. In Ridgewood, in addition to the "right-of-way", the bridge over the Hohokus Brook in Veterans Memorial Park is a former trolley crossing.
