Hoboken Terminal Page
Newport
has two tracks one island platform and a
side platform serving eastbound (to Hoboken and 33rd)
trains. It was reopened due to substantial increase in service.
During overnight hours, only the island platform is used. The
round columns prominently display the letter E for Erie Terminal
which was at street level. At one time this station was so under
utilized that trains skipped the stop overnight! The station has
two long ramps from the lower Mezzanine to the upper Mezzanine
which is two stories high with escalators and elevator to the
street fare control. Due to the glass station house, the upper
Mezzanine is quite cheerful and sunny
Exchange Place has two tracks and an island
platform. The station is fairly deep using escalators to access
the street. The station was closed after 9/11/01 due to flooding
of the river tube and the station. While we have no backup, it
is believed that water levels here reached higher than the
platform damaging signals, tracks, and other infrastructure. Is
lengthened to hold ten cars and an interlocking via a reopened
tunnel was added to allow use of the station as a terminal. A
look at the curved ceiling will show where the extension is
located (West end). A highlight here is the neon art over the
escalators and the historical art in the passageway to the other
track. The station appears to be two wall platforms due to a
center supporting wall, but the West end of the station will
reveal the passageway to the other track and escalators and
elevators to the street. if you will use the elevator rather
than the escalator you will see a lower mezzanine complete with
stairs to the platform and a group of two elevators at the
end of a passageway which lead to the street fare control.
