Phillipsburg New JerseyPhillipsburg Union Station,
I believe this is a Lackawanna and Central of New Jersey station, it now houses a Historical Society but we arrived on Sunday at 430p and they closed at 4pm.
The station sits between two tracks, the tower is across the street. There are three bridges between here and Easton PA. Across the river (Delaware).
The old Lehigh Valley station in Easton stood above the tracks, the tracks were elevated. Below the tracks was the REA freighthouse. the freighthouse is still there with markings for Lehigh Valley and REA.
TheEaston PA/ Phillipsberg NJ area was once a transportation hub served by 5 railroads, Lehigh Valley, Central of New Jersey, Belvidere Delaware Railroad, Delaware Lackawanna and Western,and the Lehigh and Hudson River. Reading later arrived when it bought interest in the CNJ.
