Found this picture very interesting. It was sent to me from a friend who knew I was a CNJ fan, but I don't think he noticed the connection to the Raritan River RR in the picture. Although its no surprise that frieght was shipped over the CNJ to the RRRR, the advertising of such on the outside of a CNJ building was a surprise to me. According to the link, this photo was shot in 1904, so the RRRR was just 16 years old. The rest of the picture (pan right)showing the White Star pier is also intersenting with the string of old wood side boxcars going into the pier building. Go to the link below and check out CNJ Pier 46. http://www.shorpy.com/node/12785?size=_original
