Ellis Island's Train Terminal Still Exists!

My ancestors came from Germany and ended up in middle western Ohio. There is no doubt they came through here. Thank you this was very interesting!

The thumbnail had me worried. I'm just glad that this important piece of American history is well maintained.

Thanks for this video, Chris. This station should be restored and USED, and trains should be built to serve America, and get rid of some of the highways and half the autos!

17 million migrants enter the country legally and build a beautiful country

My girlfriend lives in England and has never been to America before so I’m 100% taking her to this, Ellis island and the Statue of Liberty while she’s here!

You know what they DON'T tell you? Even in the 1960's there were several popular trains that the public rode frequently because the railroads kept the trains clean and the employees loved their jobs. The railroads were already on board the plan to kill passenger rail completely. The Globalist planners of the time wanted to shift 100% of passenger and freight traffic to Airplanes and Highways and they almost succeeded. They tried to rip out all of the tram systems. Their plan almost worked. They almost shifted 100% of commercial and passenger traffic to Government Highways and Government regulated Airlines. In short, it was the Communist takeover of the transportation industry that very few people saw.

My grandparents came through here in 1919, according to Ancestry. To see it is incredible. Wow.

I think this is where the impatient immigrant processing agent couldn't be bothered and assigned Vito Andolini the new last name of Corleone instead. The rest is history.

My late husband mother come from Italy to USA in 1940's he was born in 1945

I'm glad you used the word "courageous." My great-grandmother came over all by herself from Ireland in the late 1800's when she was 16 years old. Can you even imagine that? I can't. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore." Sounds good until you actually show up and everyone wants you gone.

Thank you Chris for doing this video it means alot to me as many of my ancestors arrived at Ellis island travelling from Ireland 🇮🇪🇺🇲 did you know The new structure on Ellis Island began receiving arriving immigrants on January 1, 1892. Annie Moore, a teenage girl from Ireland, accompanied by her two younger brothers, made history as the very first immigrant to be processed at Ellis Island.

My Nana came through their from Italy in 1916 when she was 6 years old.

Chris, that is an amazing Train Terminal. I am so grateful that they have maintained it for all to see and visit. Thanks for creating this video.

This was the CNJ train station. Many commuters arrived here and then took ferries to Manhattan

The ferries had 2 decks. Passengers on the upper deck would disembark and take those stairs (that lead to "nowhere") down to the platform level of the station. There were also station related offices on the 2nd level. Passengers on the lower deck of the ferry would disembark directly to the train platforms.

My ancestors came from Italy, and some from Hungary. Thank you for the history lesson, and the tour.

I would love to see this in person! ❤ The thoughts that went through their minds! Scared, happy, nervous and elated! My ancestors came through here and I'm glad they did❤

Thanks for showing this. There's so many historical places that still exist yet aren't often covered by media. It was refreshing to hear someone (you) talk about immigrants and what they faced with respect and caring. Keep up the great work.
