I used to live in Bayonne, not too far from there. There is a nice size yard there at the south end of rt 440, just before you cross over the Bayonne bridge. The New york cross harbor RR has a set of car float bridges on the Bayonne /Jersey city border. If they are open you could check out the New York Society of model engineers .<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://modelengineers.org/">http://modelengineers.org/</a><!-- m --> . The NYS&W has a small engine terminal where RT 46 crosses over the Hackensack river. the RT 46 bridge has a pedestrian walkway that is a good place for getting pics. In Hoboken there is the former DL&W station right on the Hudson river, it is now used by NJT, but a great spot to get some train pics.
