Sidetracked in Harrison: Warehouses South of the PATH Station
Harrison, NJ - Peter - Tuesday, May 19th, 2009 : goo  A continuation of the Sidetracked in Harrison series, these photos cover several square blocks of warehouses in various stages of use/decay. The particular structures pictured here line the south side of the train track that runs almost directly east-to-west through Harrison, NJ
 The pink region on the map shows the area in question a little bit more clearly. Here's it's Googlemap, and here is an overview map of Harrison, for context
 This is the southerly view of the buildings from the NYC-bound PATH platform
 The gravel road runs along the raised rail-bed, and gaps in the wall indicate where rail-spurs used to enter and exit the industrial park

 Looking north across the tracks as a PATH train approaches

 I passed a guy driving a gas-powered radio-controlled truck around. He showed me all the tricks he could do with it

 I love it when buildings are partially demolished, but design and paint elements from the old structure remain on newly exposed walls

 New Jersey Transit trains also run right nearby.


 Another PATH train passes
 This lot, which until recently, had a dilapidated warehouse on it now seems to be in use as a marshaling area for the stadium construction
 Another NJ Transit commuter train slips past towards Manhattan
 It started sprinkling some, and definitely made for some odd skies and lighting

 Because it's right across the street from the PATH station, this warehouse is currently being used for monthly indoor parking for park-and-ride commuters
 Despite the copious parking, there's a random scattering of abandoned cars, trucks and other vehicles
 ...and reserved parking in non-public areas that doesn't look like it's been used for years
