It began operation in 1861 with the two saddle-tank steamers: First The Hackensack followed a few months later by a twin named Lodi. The H&NY had a commuter service and, of course, freight service. It had stations in Hackensack, Carlstadt, Woodridge & Hasbrouck Heights. None of the original structures remain at this time. The H&NY continued its marginal existence for quite a few years.
