What if Lindenthal’s 57th Street Bridge had been built?

Here’s a fun counterfactual map from a world where Gustav Lindenthal’s make-no-small-plans 57th Street Bridge across the Hudson had been built. Spot the massive upgrade to the NYS&W (and the I-80-style link across the south of Paterson to the Lackawanna) to have a vaguely coherent commuter rail network feed into the bridge. The result is rather different bits of NJ having good connections to Manhattan.
