This image originally posted is reversed. This is how it should look. The view is looking south toward the Delaware River. The Baltimore and Ohio train is northbound/eastbound toward Jersey City. Trent tower is on the west side of the tracks, and the station is on the east side of the tracks. Railroad Ave is on the right side of the flipped image behind Trent tower. The branch trackage that heads toward Trenton is on the left, opposite Trent tower.

I noticed that this station is at the end of the line. That explains the wye and small railyard just north of the depot.

Confirmation that it is at the end of line.
