What's perhaps even more startling is the classic black-and-white film "On
the Waterfront," which prominently features Hoboken Shore 44-tonners and the
floatbridge yard at that same location. Worth a rental to check it out!

I thought the intro to "Time After Time" was filmed on the NYS&W at Little
Ferry, as well.

There have been many latter-day movies/commercials that have been filmed
along the EL (the most recent Chase credit card commercial, where they show
a Metro-North passenger train diving into the Bergen Tunnels at Jersey City
comes to mind), but was there any movie filming done in DL&W, Erie or EL
years? (not counting Edison's original "Great Train Robbery" movie :)
