I stumbled across this gem on the internet. https://robertpiers.tumblr.com/post/150686648023/erie-railroad-croxton-yard-jersey-city-new Click on the picture to get a high resolution imageNot sure it has been posted here before.
I'm guessing this is perhaps from an overpass on Tonnelle Ave overpass. Curving left could be the old Morris and Essex alignment, which by now was the Newark Branch of the Erie (Paterson & Newark RR), going under the old Paterson and Hudson River RR and the NYS&W in the distance. The M&E Bergen junction would be a few 100 yards to the left.
And on the right would be Croxton. Could that be the NYS&W trestle over Croxton Yard in the distance?

It looks like some major Erie shop just behind the tower.
