Hello,

I'm looking for a list of interlockings/controlled points from NYP to ZOO. Preferably with mileposts.
Been listening to scanner when I work from home and don't quite know all the locations.


Thanks in advance!

Leaving NYP you have "A" at the mouth of the tunnels. Next is CP MID which is a control point for eastward moves only in the tunnels.

Once you're out of the tunnels it's all interlockings except for CP Clarke which is just west of Princeton Junction.


Here's your list from NYP (MP 0) westward to Zoo (MP 88):
A
CP Mid
Bergen
Allied
Erie
Lack
Portal
Swift
Hudson
Rea
Dock
Cliff
Hunter
Haynes
Lane
Elmora
Merck
Union

Thank you. That helps quite a bit in understanding where things are.
W8.8 is about Hudson yard right?

That page shows distance from NY Penn, not milepost. Newark is 10.0 miles from NY Penn, but it's milepost 8.6 to 8.7. Milepost 47 used to be at the east end of the platform at Princeton Jct, and Milepost 14 was on the platform at Elizabeth.

From Hudson to Zoo, the milepost are measured from Jersey City.

They're "measured" from Jersey City, but milepost 9 just west of Newark was 8 miles from end of track at Jersey City.
