An editor has requested that an image or photograph of Any contemporary image of the station other than that of the Elizabeth (Central Railroad of New Jersey depot), such as the former Pennsylvania Railroad station house on Broad Street and the platforms behind the CNJ Depot. be added to this article.

Photo

The building seen in this photo is no longer a train station. It used to be the Elizabeth station on the CNJ line, but that line is defunct and the building has been a restaurant for several years. The currently-used Elizabeth station on the Northeast Corridor is not visible in this photo, though we can see part of a train and platform in the top right of the photo. Can someone supply a proper photo? --Keeves (talk) 21:26, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

New station

Redesigned Elizabeth Train Station on Hold-Mayor Says Fire NJ Transit Executives By KATHRYN PHELPS November 10, 2017 https://www.nj.com/suburbannews/index.ssf/2012/03/bollwage_supports_construction.html https://www.tapinto.net/towns/elizabeth/articles/redesigned-elizabeth-train-station-on-hold-mayor

s-curve

The Elizabeth S-curve limits speeds imposed by the transition between the two curves in the S-curve. If rebuilt, with the track provided with aggressive banking and using modern rolling stock, the speed limit could be raised to 135mph, pushing the northern end of the high speed section in New Jersey closer to Newark. This is included in the improvements Amtrak has planned for the NEC.^[1]^[2]
