Went to yesterday's grand opening ceremonies of the new Hudson-Bergen Light Rail 8th Street station and took in some action of the first couple of trains to come through.

 

 

Enjoy!

Great Coverage Pablo! So It's a single track to / from 8 St to the next stop towards Hoboken? Not 2 tracks?
Thanks Zach! Yes, it's single track between 8th Street and 22nd Street.

 

Nice pictures , when did the crowd leave , i got there around 1.30 and it was a ghost town.
Thanks. The crowds from the ceremonies were gone by 12:30, just before the first revenue train came through.

 

Slammin pics and vids!

 

Thanks!

 

Excellent shots Pablo, I gotta go check that out.

Thanks Richard!

Wow, it looks... all most...... like..... a modern city with the way the overhead lines and causeway curve around like that.... :eek: :tup:

 

Nice photos, (especially that one at 34th street!) :cool:

 

I can't wait to ride to 8th street later today and see what it's like in person.
