	I haven't been there recently, but my recollection is that the site 
of the Jersey City Erie Terminal has been redeveloped into the Newport 
complex.  The right of way leading from the tunnels to the terminal is still 
there, but most of it has, I think, been converted to a highway leading to 
Newport.  I think that the western part, leading west to the tunnels, may 
still be intact.  In fact, as I recall, some signal bridges may still be 
there.
