Two massive drawbridges over the Passaic River have
long been a landmark for rail passengers traveling between Manhattan and Newark.
PATH uses the bridge to the left, with a third track on that structure
for eastbound Amtrak and NJ Transit use. The right-hand
structure also has three sets of rails, and is in heavy use by Amtrak and NJ Transit.
In this view a diesel-led commuter train is heading for the bridge and
for the stop at Newark's Penn Station. |
