Among the least photographed urban railways in the New York City metro area is the old Newark City Subway.<\/p>\n

On January 15, 2015, I met Jack May at Newark Penn Station and we began our tour of area railways.<\/p>\n

The last time I rode the Newark City Subway it still featured PCC cars. Since then it has been extended and is now part of NJ Transit\u2019s Newark Light Rail.<\/p>\n

Images of the subway from my Kodachrome days really weren\u2019t so good. However, with my Canon EOS 7D I was able to make remarkably pleasing photos.<\/p>\n

We rode from Newark Penn Station (not to be confused for New York Penn Station) on the new Broad Street Extension to the finely restored old Lackawanna Station. Here we began the next leg of our tour.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned tomorrow!<\/p>\n
