Wow I love it

It's just weird. I look at it all the time from the train and there's like nobody ever there

Very. Surprising. But looks nice and peaceful.

Are the fences down? I don’t think it’s officially open yet.

I didn’t even realize it was officially open yet but thanks for the heads up I’ll definitely go check it out

If it’s open and people still haven’t went then wow, but if it isn’t open then that’s why it’s empty. The sad part is I don’t think it’s connected to the rest of the park

Full disclosure, I don't know if it's officially open but I do see people in it every morning and every day usually jogging or with kids I mean it's all done and ready to go as far as this area I just saw a wide open gate

It isn't, I suspect the City has to still get approval from Amtrak and Edison Parking for an easement to connect the two ends.

I always wanted to photograph the trains going over Dock Bridge from here.

I thought the developers company behind the Shaq towers bought the land were the park would connect to the other side behind the Newark legal building and the smaller tower next to it. As for Amtrak I can’t see them not approving it but that bridge is pulling up to 100 years old, I imagine them wanting to fix or replace it first then approve.

It's been years Edison parking just redid their parking gates on that lot a few weeks ago so I guess it's going to be even more years

Well you can go there or on the street next to NJT headquarters You're just going to need a lens with some zoom

These days a lack of time is my issue rather than anything else.

Another great place. If you ever get around to it and stuff it's go to the Harrison park garage next to the station and go on the roof you can get some great shots there

Yes, the land across McCarter Highway from NJPAC. I think I remember seeing work being done on the bulkhead on the Passaic River over the last year or so.

That's a great spot, lot of railfans stopped using it a few years when some security guards told them to buzz off. One of my personal favorite is Mulberry Commons right where it meets McCarter Highway.

Yeah but they also bought property at Passaic place which is behind the legal building and near the bridge

I did it from the other side at night with a 85mm lens.

That is a wonderful shot.

Did they finally remove the fencing that was blocking it off?

These are insane.

Yeah it’s a really get spot, glad to know other people like looking at the trains to in the Reddit

Thank you, I also took this shot of the Port at 120mm from the Bayonne Bridge, which is tricky due to the wind up there.

NJT cops let you railfan from the platforms without issues.

Amazing! I had no idea it was accessible yet

I hate Edison/Goettsman. They are the biggest stumbling block to Newark progress.
