For  those not familiar with Elizabeth, NJ today, the 1892 main part of the 
station  (eastbound) with the clocktower has been restored and operates as a  
cafe.  The westbound station building and all platform canopies are  gone.  The 
CNJ tracks have been severed just west of the station.   Amtrak (ex-PRR) 
passes over the CNJ on a trestle just to the right of the  photo, which was taken 
from the PRR platform.  A great shot of once was  one of the finest CNJ 
stations.



The Westbound station was actually destroyed by a train running through  it.
