If anybody knows the regular schedule, I'd be interested in hearing it. My understanding is they stay a few days, and are removed. As they're filled, the hoppers are pulled out the back gate, and stashed north of the yard. Trucks bearing construction waste unload inside the shed (NJ law) where waste hoppers have been positioned. Trespassing is not allowed, but the fencing allows good pictures much of the day. The yard is a treasure trove of old locomotives (LIRR power pack, NJ Transit U34CH) old passenger equipment, and beautifully lettered GP-9 equipment. This is just north of the Monroe Street / Pierre Street / railroad crossing. The connection with the NJT line is a left curve into a small yard on the west side of the NJT. A flagger (and sometimes a police car) leads the way as the train moves slowly down Monroe Street. The former Erie line heads north, and crosses the river on a small, well lighted bridge, and heads out on Monroe Street. The facility is located at the corner of 6th street and Passaic street on the city's east side. The NJ Transit Bergen County line is at the other end of this unusual operation. The facility is connected to the world via a small bridge over the river, and about a mile of street running on Monroe Street in Garfield.


The New York & Greenwood Lake Railroad is a small industrial operation which runs a construction waste transfer facility in Passaic NJ.
