Journal Square
Title:  Journal Square
Description:  The area near Journal Square had a lot of activity. The tracks to the left are the PATH station and yard, a large complex that had car shops and MOW, among other things. The two tracks at right are the ex PRR Passaic & Harsimus Branch, which went from Kearny out to the piers at Harsimus Cove. By this time it was a freight yard, but until 1961, some passenger trains terminated there at a ferry to Manhattan, though not many after Penn Station in NY was opened. We see a long cut of cars behind an ex EL SW 9 about to pass the station on the P&H, heading toward the waterfront yard. Note the catenary above the SW. Conrail was still running electrified freight here at the time, and it was possible to see GG 1's, E 44's and ex NH/VGN E 33's here.

Back to Croxton
Title:  Back to Croxton
Description:  Well, maybe. Could also be going to North Bergen, but my bet is Croxton, which handled a lot more general freight than the ex NYC yard, which had become largely an intermodal and auto rack yard. Our SW takes the connection at Marion Jct after dropping its train at Harsimus Cove. Now, off to get some baseball cards....
