PHOTOS : PATH Pix!!!! Part I |

Posted by Train Man Paul : Metro-North's Best Conductor FOR ALL 3 LINES!!! on Sun Aug 14 17:25:36 2011 Time to show the PATH system some love, and present you with some PATH pix from the Journal Square/Jersey City area!! Hope you will enjoy 'em!! And especially for you PA-5 lovers, I had nothing but PA-5s for you!!!Taken from the Van Wagenen Avenue footbridge adjacent to Newark Avenu, west of Journal Square, and bear with me, as shooting thru the mesh protective grating over the sides of the footbridge was slightly difficult, but I think I made it work!! For Jersey Mike........signals!!!! :-D Looking east towards Journal Square (the left signal is double flashing yellow, which indicates a repeater signal for the next signal, which also indicates "Speed Control"; Proceed in accordance with the posted speed))  Looking west towards Harrison and Newark, where we see the interlocking and crossover sporting 3 different types of signals. Take your pick which you like better!! Far right signal displays "Right Clear", and the CSAO (ex-PRR) Harsimus Cove Branch are at the right......  Now, for some trains with those signals (You didn't really think I was gonna leave out the trains, did you???)......   The rather weedy tracks to the left are the CSAO (ex-PRR) Harsimus Cove Branch, used mainly for the set-up of NS Train 65J, and occasional moves in order for trains being set-up or broken up at South Kearny Yard to make reverse/run around moves. It used to lead to the National Docks Secondary and original Milepost 0 of the Conrail (now CSX) River Line at a point called CP NAVE and the original Bergen Tunnel (now NJT HBLR), but the tracks are dead ended just over the top of the National Docks Secondary, and CP NAVE is no longer, and the Bergen Tunnel of the former Conrail River Line are now part of the NJT Hudson-Bergen Light Rail Line, Tonnelle Avenue extension. I believe PATH once had a physical connection to this track just east of Journal Square, but I believe it was removed, as a physical connection to the CSAO tracks I understand exists adjacent to Harrison Maintenance Facility/Yard aside South Kearny Yard   A truly MASSIVE (lost count after 120 cars, the first 50 were a string of empty potash hoppers) Q410, Rice Yard, Waycross GA to Selkirk Yard, Albany NY grinds around the sharp curve between South Kearny Yard and the Hackansack River Drawbridge and CP MARION (the CP MARION homeball is just out of view), lead by ES44AH 709 and SD70AC 4588 (ex-CR 4143). Again, forgive me, the former PRR catenary poles and the fence mesh wreaked havoc on me, so I caught these the best I could!!  Okay, back to the PATH action!!!   2 for the price of 1 for you here!!   Buh-bye to both!!! (I can imagine what the employee riding in the west end cab was thinking...."Oh great, 'nother effin' foamer!!)   Thank you for viewing!! Hope you have enjoyed!! More will follow in my next post, where we look at the sheer PA-5 action from further up above east of Journal Square Station at Summit Avenue!! Stay tuned!! :-) |

Looks like a mix of Conrail/CSX (tri-lights far right), NYCT (middle) and the old Southern Railway/Norfolk Western (1st pic, and the far left signal facing westward) style signal masts and heads. |

Looks like you spent some quality time at that footbridge west of JSQ! I had time for only a few minutes there about ten years ago, just enough to see one train go by. |

I was there about 30 minutes or so, and yes there was, for a Sunday, a nice bit of action plus the freight was a bonus!! :-)The mesh on the footbridge is pretty difficult to see thru and shoot thru. |

Good shots, Paul.It's been many years since I've been to Journal Square. There was a grade crossing, not a bridge to go to the connection to Croxton when I worked there. Lee |

I only wish they would get rid of the mesh on the footbridge, or make it something that would work a little more photogenically. |

The digital signs on PA-5s, like those on NYCT NTTs, constantly refresh themselves, making them appear incomplete, or hard-to-read in photographs. As for the "uneven horizon", I looked at stationary objects (like overpasses) in TMP's photos rather than the trains leaning into the curves, and these appear to be correctly aligned throughout the frame of each picture. |

No, but you are showing your glaring ignorance. The digital signs on PA-5s, like those on NYCT NTTs, constantly refresh themselves, making them appear incomplete, or hard-to-read in photographs. Incorrect. They can be seen fine in photographs if the photographs are created using the proper techniques. It been discussed here many many times. As for the "uneven horizon", I looked at stationary objects (like overpasses) in TMP's photos rather than the trains leaning into the curves, and these appear to be correctly aligned throughout the frame of each picture. You are incorrect, the horizons are uneven. |
