Ironbound RAILWAYS

Ironbound as the name itself says is 'bound by iron' or iron rails... But there's one particular railway I'm concerned with which is that bridge that crosses over the main network of rails in this photo.

This particular railway link would go towards Ferry Street, It actually crossed Ferry Street somewhere... 

I remember it particularly well because in the summer of 1972, I was homeless for a period and I used to spend some of my time wandering through  its ways.

Four kinds of transportation enter Newark's new Pennsylvania Station on 4 levels. City transit lines take to the subway, while the inter-city trains from downtown New York, via the Hudson tubes, will emerge on elevated tracks still under construction on the left. Busses and taxicabs arrive on surface levelThrough trains pass under the long shed on a fourth level. Escalators convey travelers in the covered passageways across the roof.
