  • Perth Amboy ● a Proposed Site for the Nj Transportation Heritage Park (Thp)
    UNITED RAILROAD HISTORICAL SOCIETY of NEW JERSEY www.URHS.org William J. McKelvey, Chairman, Site Committee 103 Dogwood Lane, Berkeley Heights, NJ 07922 Phone 908-464-9332 E-mail: [email protected] Revised 7 January, 2015 ● PERTH AMBOY ● A PROPOSED SITE FOR THE NJ TRANSPORTATION HERITAGE PARK (THP) F I N A L D R A F T OVERVIEW At the urging of Tracy Jordan, a local resident formerly with the Perth Amboy Urban Enterprise Zone, Tony Hall and I inspected the proposed site on the afternoon of 19 November 2013. We explored a plot of vacant, fenced land about 250' by 1500' (the former Goldberg scrap yard of about 8 acres now owned by the City of Perth Amboy) lying east of the New Jersey Transit (NJT) North Jersey Coast Line (NJCL) - formerly the Central RR of NJ (CNJ) and west of Second Street, extending north from the bank of the Raritan River. A second corridor plot (owned by NJ Transit) runs south from Market Street (the NJT Rail Station is on the north side of Market - Note A) and connects with the Goldberg property. The two properties together could provide a narrow corridor from Market Street to the River of one half mile. (Note B) North of the Goldberg property are several miscellaneous businesses. Some of this area could be considered in need of redevelopment.” A sidetrack from the NJCL into the site can be seen looking south from the Market Street bridge over NJT (as well as Google Satellite View) and could be the delivery point for rail equipment destined for the proposed THP.
