Verizon Customer Service is hell but that Fios is amazing. I’m stuck with Optimum on the West Side 🤢

Amazing! I had no idea it was accessible yet

NJT cops let you railfan from the platforms without issues.

Thank you, I also took this shot of the Port at 120mm from the Bayonne Bridge, which is tricky due to the wind up there.

Yeah it’s a really get spot, glad to know other people like looking at the trains to in the Reddit

These are insane.

Did they finally remove the fencing that was blocking it off?

That is a wonderful shot.

I did it from the other side at night with a 85mm lens.

Yeah but they also bought property at Passaic place which is behind the legal building and near the bridge

Edited. I meant QOL. Quality of life, which has deteriorated.

That's a great spot, lot of railfans stopped using it a few years when some security guards told them to buzz off. One of my personal favorite is Mulberry Commons right where it meets McCarter Highway.

Yes, the land across McCarter Highway from NJPAC. I think I remember seeing work being done on the bulkhead on the Passaic River over the last year or so.

Another great place. If you ever get around to it and stuff it's go to the Harrison park garage next to the station and go on the roof you can get some great shots there

These days a lack of time is my issue rather than anything else.

Well you can go there or on the street next to NJT headquarters You're just going to need a lens with some zoom

It's been years Edison parking just redid their parking gates on that lot a few weeks ago so I guess it's going to be even more years

I thought the developers company behind the Shaq towers bought the land were the park would connect to the other side behind the Newark legal building and the smaller tower next to it. As for Amtrak I can’t see them not approving it but that bridge is pulling up to 100 years old, I imagine them wanting to fix or replace it first then approve.

I always wanted to photograph the trains going over Dock Bridge from here.

It isn't, I suspect the City has to still get approval from Amtrak and Edison Parking for an easement to connect the two ends.

Full disclosure, I don't know if it's officially open but I do see people in it every morning and every day usually jogging or with kids I mean it's all done and ready to go as far as this area I just saw a wide open gate

If it’s open and people still haven’t went then wow, but if it isn’t open then that’s why it’s empty. The sad part is I don’t think it’s connected to the rest of the park

I didn’t even realize it was officially open yet but thanks for the heads up I’ll definitely go check it out

Are the fences down? I don’t think it’s officially open yet.

Very. Surprising. But looks nice and peaceful.
