Elizabethport NJ was the hub of the Central of New Jersey repair operations. The original shops are at bottom left, the new shops are at top right. Also shown is the giant Singer Manufacturing plant. (1906 map)

Not the best aerial view of the Elizabethport shops (and Singer), but it's all I have. From a newspaper clipping.

Just to the east, they also had an impressive bridge over Newark Bay. 1958 Elizabeth Quad @ 24,000

CNJ, E-port shop complex at, Elizabethport, NJ. 4/01/1984 I took this photo while getting ready to land at Newark Airport. There is so much to see here, and some much that is now gone. The huge building in the upper right, is the Singer Sewing Machine Company which I delivered to many times in the 1970's, while driving for Commercial Trucking out of Paterson, NJ. The long 4 track bridge in the photo now is gone, and is the Newark Bay bridge to Bayonne, NJ that a CNJ commuter train loaded with passengers dove off of in 1958, killing 48 people, including former New York Yankees second baseman Snuffy Stirnweiss. I remember that coming on the radio news in my dad's car while heading south to Ocean Grove, NJ. Another amazing thing. You can see 9 of the 12 lanes of the busy NJ Turnpike, and not a car in sight. Now a days, it would be bumper to bumper traffic. If you look really close, you will make out eight E8's. I can spot three Southern units, and three PC units. Also at least five RDC's, some Arrow cars, and various commuter coaches.

Elizabeth NJ-CNJ, 1893

The overpass in this photo is the former Pennsy, and it still exists.

JB Hardwick: What year were the rails lifted? Did this RDC only run to Elizabethport, or Communipaw?

The CNJ tracks are abandoned here and the track elevation ends under the even more elevated Pennsy tracks.
