The trackage just to the north of the area labeled "Black Tom" was the coal train yard, with the dumper at the water's edge. North of that (east of the roundhouse/engine terminal shown on the map) was the main freight yard, with the finger piers for transfers of freight to barges, etc. North of that was the main passenger yard west of the passenger/ferry terminal.
Glad to hear of your project! Would like to see it when done!

I have been shooting video along the old CNJ and want to get the Liberty State park station. Someone told me that was once Communipaw curve under the National Docks Branch. Is that correct ?

CNJ infrastructure remnants are all over the place in bayonne & jersey city. If you ever get a chance, hit up HBLR and you can see most of it, especially in winter.
