Working on a video project on the CNJ. Want to shoot both active and abandoned portions. I plan on visiting the Jersey City/ Elizabeth area.I want to shoot the location of the E'port crossings and station.Is anything left there? Any trains go south on the old E'port-Perrth Amboy line? Most important question: IS IT SAFE to go there ?
I would recommend checking the detailed satellite images on maps.google.com to see what is left. The shops area is now a mall. The yard areas have been transformed into a heavily-used intermodal terminal and a primary transloading facility. Plenty of trains. Definitely not "safe" on the Elizabeth side but you can drive through the mall area to see the intermodal yard.
I never tried to access the old station at the junction.
Good luck
