Is that the old Central of NJ rail terminal? They used to hold train shows there before the pandemic, I wonder if those will ever resume?
I wish the state would come up with something more than a few pictures, two cars and a fenced off terminal.
bigkid... Last RAIL EXPO was held in 1999. Great shows especially when a Classic Car Show was held at same date at same location but outside the Terminal.
I had my CNJ #189 track speeder there 1 year.
necrails... Only the tracks under train shed are fenced off due to condition of train shed roof. Remainder of ground level at station is accessible.

Susie and I sponsored this train sign and a few others... Hunterdon Commuter and Local to Bayonne in the early 2000's. Small plaques are no longer attached.
And...the Terminal is haunted too! Spent a few overnights there during Rail Expo and when all lights were out, heard footsteps across the platform and train gateman closing the gates...but nobody was there!
And...the 1/29th scale model of the BLUE COMET on display was donated by Aristo-Craft Trains.
