Nostalgia & History > Train from the train windowDate: 05/26/23 05:32 Train from the train window Author: bandob Back in 2007 I caught this NJT train from Amtrak. There are several locations on the NEC where one can do that, but I admit I do not know this location. Any help appreciated.

Washington, MO, early 2022.  Date: 05/26/23 09:51 Re: Train from the train window Author: timz The signal bridge seems to still be there --
just no signals now. (And no signals when you took the pic.) https://goo.gl/maps/2E1PFGuXr1BGPB516 Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 05/26/23 09:53 by timz. Date: 05/26/23 11:00 Re: Train from the train window Author: CPMorris BANDOB - Location is LANE Tower in South Newark, NJ. (MP 12.6)
Track under the overpass is the PRR,PC "Greenville Branch" according to the November, 1971 Penn Central Employee Timetable. The building in the background is the Anhueser-Busch ("Bud Light") brewery.

Date: 05/26/23 12:17 Re: Train from the train window Author: CPMorris RBENKO - How the scene has changed! Are those apartments
or houses in the background on what used to be Waverly Yard? Date: 05/26/23 14:01 Re: Train from the train window Author: timz None of Waverly was SW of Lane.
Bridge 12.37 in the foreground is over McClellan, and the apartments are SW of that. How has that scene changed since 2010? Edited 3 time(s). Last edit at 05/26/23 14:10 by timz. Date: 05/26/23 15:36 Re: Train from the train window Author: chakk Love those Swedish meatballs!

Amtrak would hand off the train at Harold Interlocking (just east of the tunnels adjacent to Sunnyside yard), where four or five LIRR MP15s would take it to the Garden City spur, at which it would be parked for the duration of their stay at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, NY.
