There is still a split flap board in use at the station in Secaucus, although I don’t believe it is a Solari. That’s the only one I can think of that is being used for its purpose – there are two in New York (JFK’s TWA hotel, and the TWA lounge at the World Trade Center) but they are just for decorative purposes.

Solari Clocks are left in in the NY Metro Area? So sad to see them all being removed.

Trenton serves Amtrak, NJ Transit, and SEPTA.
(Station also still has a few pay telephones).

Preferred to see this over the Rocky steps!

GREAT PICTURES!!!

I remember it still up in the 1980s, seeing the long gone name trains flip by…
