Since today was a nice day and I (finally) didn't have any work to do, I managed to get myself over to Liberty State Park to check old the old CNJ terminal there. I think it's great that it's still there, even if it is not much to look at anymore, at least where the platforms are/were. It was also rather sad that there's a parking lot where the tracks used to be.
One thing that I noticed right away was that the design of the terminal seemed remarkably similar to Hoboken terminal. I thought this was rather strange, considering they were used by different RRs. Is there any reason for that, or did it just sort of happen that way?
And as a minor item of curiosity, does anyone know what this is (another image, with some context)?
Here's a link to all the pictures I took at the terminal, if anyone's interested.
