RE: (erielack) Marine operations (was: Classic Trains/ Hoboken)

EXTREMELY OT, but if that's the Union Drydock Company, that is the dock
where Blondie shot their video for "Union City Blue". However, I guess that
kind of brings up an on-topic discussion, that is the appearance of Erie/
DL&W/ E-L equipment and structures in music videos.  I can think of two off
the top of my head:

Cyndi Lauper- "Time After Time" The closing scene is her leaving the
Morristown station (on a NYS&W passenger car though!?)
Eric Clapton with Babyface- "Change The World"  The video is shot in and
around the Hoboken Terminal waiting room and platforms.

Any more?

Even better, there is a former EL barge there! (number "0" - odd number, but
that's what it's painted as)  It's owned by the shipyard there, but the
folks there are really paranoid of photographers (trust me, I speak from
experience), so you have to try and shoot it through the fence from the
street.
