I found a really interesting map of the Jersey city waterfront and RR infrastructure from 1907: https://imgur.com/yj8BXNL .Quality is poor, it from a book on Archieve.org site and the scan was probably done at very high compression to save space.

Hoboken Historical society has a copy of it, that I'm guessing they scanned themselves. but they only show low res versions online or small sections. they want 40$ for a print at various sizes, although the original is rather small, only 6.25x8.5 so their quality is rather limited too. https://hoboken.pastperfectonline.com/a ... 9290534475 .

Just curious if anyone has anything similar. there is one from 1883 that is of excellent quality, but the waterfront is so different than today its almost unrecognizable. https://collections.leventhalmap.org/se ... :wd3767420

it looks like the railfan site modifies the link when i post it and it doesn't work right on my computer. on the link, trim off the part starting at the '#' sign at the end of the url and refresh.
