I think the title tells all about my adventure today to stop at the Frank R. Lautenberg Secaucus Junction Station to pay my respects to a great public transportation leader as he was transferred from motorcade to train at his namesake station for a very short ceremony with the New Jersey Transit Police Honor Guard, and only his […]

I finally got two more on the New Jersey side written (fun fact: ), both have historic station houses, one is untouched with low-level platforms, the other had a new island platform built and a modern overpass in 2009: Perth Amboy–(109 Photos) South Amboy–(136 Photos)–with its old and new platforms Enjoy!
This quick update I finished processing while on the train back from Syracuse, its the final three stops on the shared Gladstone Branch/Morristown Line that I visited last February: Maplewood–(79 Photos) Millburn–(43 Photos), the one non-historic stop on the entire line Short Hills–(33 Photos), the station house is a ticket office by day and restaurant […]
On Friday I’m making one of my regular trips to Syracuse to visit my grandmother. This time though I’m going a very unusual route via Springfield to finally ride the Lake Shore Limited through the Berkshires. I was able to plan this trip two weeks in advance to get the Northeast Regional 25% discount which […]
One of the most impressive grade separated in the 1910s 3 track railroads I know of is the ex-Lackawanna Main Line. This line still carries New Jersey Transit’s second busiest to the Northeast Corridor Morris & Essex Lines that consist of the Morristown Line and Gladstone branch away from Newark west. This update includes the […]
Today’s Update is a continuation of yesterdays. It is of the station’s in northern Montclair (including two very nice historic station houses) that were originally on the Erie Railraod’s Greenwood Lake Line. They were electrified with the opening of the Montclair Connection in 2002: Montclair State University–(35 photos) Montclair Heights–(20 photos) Mountain Avenue–(20 photos) Upper […]
Thought I would give this post a slightly confusing title for a decent reason. These 4 stations are the only stations still in operation (well Bay Street replaced the original Montclair Terminal in 1981 that still exists but your webmaster didn’t know about on his last trip there and needs to return) on the Montclair […]
In this update I’ve finally gotten the other rail station in Newark, Newark-Broad Street Station up on the web: Lackawanna’s Broad Street Train Station–(98 Photos) I also rebuilt my section for the new (2006) downtown Newark Light Rail Extension, built to connect Newark’s two train stations with quite a lot of new photos: Broad […]
As part of writing PATH and Hoboken I realized it was time to finally make the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail section up to my current standards and finally upload all my Hudson-Bergen Light Rail Photos that were in the acrive. Each station now also has a full detailed description and history when interesting. New Homepage with […]

Upload: NJT Raritan Valley Line
The next 3 stations on the Raritan Valley Line from Plainfield, I visited in January. Each Station is quite different: Dunellen–(60 Photos) — Modern, rebuilt in 1950s and 1960s with ugly station houses Bound Brook–(69 Photos) — Nice old 1912 station house along the Conrail Lehigh Line with plenty of long-distance freight trains that pass the […]
