Why is there a seemingly unused bridge east of track 1 over south street? Where did it lead?
Next stop the square, journal square station next!

25Hz wrote:Crazy how many yards and sidings used to exist off the NEC.Yep. There was South Street, Poiner Street ,Waverly, Elizabeth, Stiles Street, and this is just what I can recall of the top of my head (always a dicey situation). I know there are lots more to the west (Metuchen, Jersey Avenue, Adams, Barracks)

The answer is there was once a small yard there. Lasted into the 50s: http://www.historicaerials.com/aerials. ... &year=1954
