Re: (erielack) Erie RR in Jersey City

[Matt <"mklemcha_@_stevens-tech.edu">]

Scott-

Sadly, not much of anything remains.  The passenger viaduct is gone,
except for a few of the footings.  The terminal site itself is
unrecognizable, with the PATH station the only real railroad landmark
(The columns at track level still have "E" cast into their tops,
baffling many passengers)

There is still a signal bridge next to the old Seaboard Cold Storage
building, spanning the right of way of the freight tracks to the north
of the viaduct.  Monmouth Street coach yard, and its approaches appear
to be completely obliterated.

We should plan some type of discovery day soon, for my company has just
bid on doing the consulting for re-routing portions of 1&9 through the
archways to relieve traffic.

Hope this helps
	Matt
