Short Local in the Snow by Erie Limited Via Flickr: The sun is setting on a frigid January day as NYS&W WS-1 approaches the State Street crossing in Hackensack with two newsprint boxcars in tow. These cars were once a common sight on area railroads, as most major newspapers had rail-served plants spread throughout the region. Most of whatever limited newsprint business remains is now handled by truck. I assume those cars would soon be spotted at the Bergen Record plant just a few blocks east of this location.

Yellowjacket and Bluebird by Erie Limited Via Flickr: SU-100 crosses the Hackensack River as it nears the end of its run from Binghamton. On this day the train was obviously handling Hanjin double stacks in addition to the usual manifest traffic. This intermodal traffic would have typically moved under the HAN-2 symbol. The blue GATX leased SD40-2s were common at the time.

Heartbreaking news out of New Jersey as a 29-year-old mother, Michelle Kerry Eddo, loses her life in a mall parking lot to a fentanyl-laced cocaine overdose. Four other mall employees also overdosed on the drug, but thankfully survived. The authorities have arrested two men in connection to the overdoses and are working to identify and prosecute drug dealers to curb the spread of this deadly drug. Our thoughts are with the victim's family during this difficult time.

Date night in Hackensack

[puutterings]

Jack, Jane, An Old Man. Rows of books.

  Scene II Time—a few minutes later. Place—A book-store. Characters—Jack, Jane, An Old Man. (Book-store occupies half of stage. Other half shut off by screens, on which are pinned picture book covers, Book-Week Posters, and any pictures to illustrate Children’s Books. The book-store contains books shelves or cases filled with bright-colored books. Rows of books are on a long table, fronting the stage. (Curtain opens to show Book-Man standing behind table, puttering with books, opening them, patting them and talking sympathetically to them).

Protesters assaulted as illegal Palestinian land sales continue in New York and New Jersey

PAL-Awda NY/NJ called protests against the illegal sales of Palestinian land held on Sept. 15 and 16 in Cedarhurst, New York, and South Hackensack, New Jersey. The following is their statement on the Cedarhurst action. 

This week, both in Cedarhurst, New York, and South Hackensack, New Jersey, illegal sales of stolen Palestinian land were conducted — sales reserved exclusively for vetted Zionists who undergo an extensive and discriminatory registration process. And yet another is scheduled for Tuesday in Pikesville, Maryland.

In a scene reminiscent of attacks on civil rights marches in the South, protestors of the segregated land sale in Cedarhurst were confronted by a mob of violent bigots and brutally attacked by Nassau County police on horses. Officers on horseback trampled over protesters, including women and children, as they forcibly relocated us into a confined “free speech zone,” out of sight and sound of the venue we were protesting.
