NX Bridge spanning the Passaic River between Newark and Kearny, NJ




NX Bridge as seen from the Clay Street Bridge

The bridge has not been in use since 1977. It has been abandoned in its upright position. The tracks on the Newark side of the river are still an active freight line. The bridge is also known as the "Annie Bridge" since portions of the movie Annie were filmed near the bridge in 1982.

Junction North Jersey! Harrison, NJ



Came across the sign being discarded actually within the confines of Red Bull Arena in Harrison, NJ which had recently been removed and being replaced with a newer sign. Most road signs aren't of much interest of course, but this one has too many roads mentioned on it along with Newark and New York City mentioned, not to include it in this blog. I mean, after all, I had a bad dream where I was snarled in traffic, and it definitely looked something like this.
