Visit Secaucus Junction
Pay a visit to Secaucus Junction, New Jersey. By allowing quick transfers, this marvelous train station saves New Jersey commuters about fifteen minutes on their trips to midtown Manhattan. (Wikipedia tells us that the station is not a true junction, as trains can't switch lines there. It says "Secaucus Transfer" would be more fitting.)
Can't (or won't) visit in person? No matter, the Flash website is probably better anyway. There's jazzy music, and if you click on "Junction Fun," you can get Secaucus Junction wallpapers (none of which, however, feature Secaucus Junction!) and even free downloadable music "to make your trip even better." Who thought a train station would be so much fun?

Throughout the whole planning/building process, it was called the "Secaucus Transfer," but I suppose people don't like the idea of transferring trains (which they have to do anyway), so the Junction name was adopted. The NJ Turnpike exit for it (14X? 15X?) is still known as Secaucus Transfer.
