Location

Hillside, where Broad Street crosses over the tracks. Reachable on foot.

Participants

Possibly Jevanyn and Kyukket

Plans

There is an (unpaved?) passageway to the tracks from Central Ave., it should be possible to walk up and get to the side of the tracks. That is an active line, however, probably freight, so we'll take extra care to keep an eye out for moving trains. May not be able to make an approach if there are personnel in the area, but crossing the Broad Street bridge should qualify since that takes us within the margin of error, esp. for a Speed Racer.

Expedition

Success! The passageway turned out to be a red-brick driveway/parking lot for the limo service. Pictures to come soon! -- Jevanyn @40.6974,-74.2191 17:24, 04 October 2011 (EDT)
