we used passaic jct and ran to croxton when we had problems back in 86-87. we would pull out onto the el/njt and run around the train, or shove out and drag to croxton. if those connections are still intact, you can still make that move. fwiw, we did have a pile driver putting piles in, back in that...

i've seen an old postcard that shows a view looking west from the area around the station. it looks like there is/was an old "candycane" style water spout in that space. i always wondered why they didn't shift the tracks, once whatever was there was removed, but i guess "if t ain't br...

as soon as the lead unit passes a signal, the rest of the train gets a "stop" signal. it means nothing to the rest of the train, and has no bearing on operations. (unless the signal fails to drop, and displays a "false-proceed". the only signal that matters, is the one you're abo...

To further state my case, the station looks like it can only hold three tracks at the moment, based on the fence on the far right.
