When I was a youngster I used to sit by the ballfield on 11th street in Bayonne, it was on the inside of a curve of the 4 track CNJ main line. CNJ commuters, Reading, all sorts of freight traffic until 1967 when they took away the trains. When my sons were younger we would sit in the Linden NJ station and watch NJ transit and Amtrak at rush hour. The GM plant was active then as well so we had lots of action on the 6 track main line.
