CRRNJ
Posted on October 20th, 2006 by Deb
Here’s this week’s contribution to Sundara’s Eye Candy Friday.These are pictures I took at Liberty State Park on Sunday, at the CRRNJ (Central Railroad of New Jersey) train station. Apparently, this was the main train line that immigrants from Ellis Island would use to get, well, wherever they were going, but its usage long since been discontinued. With the exception of ferry tickets to the Statue of Liberty or to Ellis Island, the whole thing has just been left to disintegrate. It’s absolutely fascinating to see the tracks completely overgrown . . .

and sad, too. you’d think they’d find another use for it.
I love that train station. Last summer I took the nephew to the Science Center and then down to the waterfront. Unfortunately a 3 yo is not interested in taking arty photographs but I did manage to sneak a few in. Reminds me - I need to go back to the Hoboken terminal, those old ferry docks were so cool, I wonder if they’ve done anything with them.
Great photos. I’m always intrigued with the history of places like that.
Wonderful photos :o) Too bad they can’t think of some way to utilize it.
Very cool - are there any plans to rehabilitate it and use it for something else?
Great pictures.
