How's Linden station in Y2K for watching trains? My grandfather took me there 25 yrs. ago on a weekend. I recall two Amtrak worktrains - one with an electric loco and the other with the orange geeps. Also NJCL trains passing by too. I wonder if the southbound Amtrak trains here really pick up the speed. Do they? At Linden you've cleared the Elizabeth curves and you don't have to slow up at Rahway for the NJCL change over. Are Amtrak southbounds at Linden certified for 100/110/135mph running?
How about the w/b platform at Harrison station. AIR you have to pay for street parking but the w/b platform is free access (unlike the e/b side).
This seems to be a good spot with additional activity from RVL trains and the PATH of course.
Nothing like a brisk Jersey morning, good hot coffee and bagels and watching trains for a few hours during rush-hour.
