- Description:
- To the extreme right is the building where clerical staff is housed; the smaller building in the center houses the teletype clerk. Between the two buildings is the interchange track, and the pit track runs in front of the larger building. This is where CNJ interchanges cars with the PRR. The upper yard is in the center background of the photograph. The tracks leading from the center of the photograph to the lower left leads to the lower yard where inbound trains are switched for interchange and local delivery. To the extreme left is the D&H interchange. There are many public crossings.
