CNJ Newark Airport station site

So what's left of the station site the CNJ Budd cars stopped at in the 1960"s? There really wasn"t much there. Maybe a light or two on the staircase. A cinder plateform. Was it in the timetables? I do remember stopping there on the Budd Car. And what did it cost to replace this $100 dollar station? Which did not even have a sign on it, wasn"t on any CNJ map I've seen either. With a station on the Northeast corridor.

CNJ Oct 30, 1966 MAINLINE TT shows 5 (of 14) weekday trains from E-Port to Newark stopping at the Airport Station and ONE of 11 Sat. trains stopping there, none of the 6 Sunday trains made stops at the Airport "station". Interestingly, only ONE train from Newark to E-port stopped at the airport station on weekdays, none on Sat or Sun!

The station had a wooden stairway up to the roadway over the turnpike. It was a decent hike over to the former and long gone North Terminal.

The purpose of the station was likely for employees of the businesses in the area, including the airport, rather than airline passengers, I suspect. I recall seeing the station from a CNJ train as we passed.

Just think of the market for this service! For air passengers. I realized this as a teenager. If just a taxi stand or taxi phone was at the top of the stairs for air passengers! There was NO investment here, the pictures I have found there wasn"t even a station sign! It would have been ALL profit for the CNJ. What with 30 year old coaches, no station services. They only had to flag stop, the trains.

Where exactly was this? I am thinking just south of the Port St. bridge over the turnpike? Sort of by the old North Terminal, and even closer to that classy looking original terminal building right near it that I always admired before it and the North Terminal got turned into a parking lot 20 or so years ago.
Getting back to the train stop, were there stairs up to Port St, and you walked on that bridge to cross the turnpike? Looking at historicaerials.com , I don't see anything obvious in 1954 or 1966, although the comments here say it wasn't much of anything so maybe there was nothing to see anyway. I think I would have seen a separate bridge over the turnpike, though.

EDIT: I thought that the original terminal, which used to be just east of the North Terminal, was demolished. Apparently it was saved - still on the south side of Routes 1/9, but further west, sort of backing up to terminal C. Now PA Police headquarters

Apparently part of it is a museum and open to the public. I'll have to go once COVID winds down and things open up.

I am in general not a fan of Port Authority, but they did get this one right, even if it is hard (impossible?) to get to without a car.

2nd EDIT. I see NY&LB above posted that the stairs went up to the road that went over the turnpike. So that answers my questions about the stairs in my above post. I should have read the previous posts more carefully.
