Nice pix. By the way, “ex Central Railroad of New Jersey baggage car” - it’s definitely not a CNJ car, Erie or Lackawanna as I recall.

Ex-Lackawanna Baggage/REA car....the caboose is ex-Erie Lackawanna.

Nice pixs Ben. Looks very much as I remember it, minus the ferry slips and bridges. My last trip through there was about a month before Aldene in 1967 at 16 years old.

I can't believe the train shed is still standing.

Also who made the track signs with the train names on them? Are they original or did some volunteer group do it?

Too bad commuter train service is not profitable, all it does is suck money.

The signs aren’t original. While what they say may be roughly accurate, the typography is nowhere close to what was there.
You can see a 1953 sign here: https://ctr.trains.com/photo-of-the-day ... minal-1953

What were the colors and functions of the signal mounted on the crossbar over the platform to the left of the Track 13 sign, and where was it controlled from?
