After the success of the Long Island Railroad Iceberg, I’ve received several requests to make an iceberg video on various other railroads, especially nearby commuter railroads such as Metro North. Although, fearing that I wouldn’t know enough information on these railroads, I decided to combine various facts on every northeast commuter railroad into a single iceberg, but as I added more entries, I ultimately decided that there was enough information to fulfil an entire iceberg on each commuter rail system alone. Since the previous iceberg covered Metro North, we’ll be moving across the Hudson River into New Jersey, as we’ll be taking a look into NJT’s expansive history in commuter railroading, meaning that any non-commuter rail divisions of NJT including busses and light rail will not be included in this video. Also included in this iceberg are entries that include NJDOT during the time in between taking over commuter operations in the late 60s and the official formation of NJT's commuter rail division in 1983 in order to include some more interesting topics that otherwise would have been excluded.
