Re: (erielack) Re: CNJ Interchange

Well duh! I have Bill's book and if I'd made the connection, it would have 
helped. In Morning Sun's Lehigh Valley in Color there's a 1965 shot of an LV 
coal train heading north towrds Weehawken just north of the Holland Tunnel 
overpass. There are three tracks, and what's interesting is that the train 
is on the Erie EB track instead of the NYC. There is no physical connection 
between EL and NYC until Willow Ave. Bill, can you explain what might be 
going on here?

Bill shows great restraint in not pointing out that his book "Tidewater 
Terminals of the Erie Lackaanna Railway" shows all this in absolute clarity. 
I cannot read any discussion of any of these tracks without running for my 
well-thumbed copy.  I don't know if he has any,  but find it if you can.

In later years, the LV National Docks Branch connected with the PC River 
Line at CP-Nave in Jersey City, forming a route between Phillips Street in 
Jersey City and Weehawken that  CNJ used to interchange traffic with the EL 
and NYC at
Weehawken. . .At Willow Avenue in Hoboken, the EL Weehawken Branch  and the 
PC River Line connected at a series of crossovers . . . Further up the River 
Line, where EL ownership ended, there was another crossover that CNJ crews 
used to access PC at their Kings Bluff Yard in Weehawken. . .
