Tribute in Lights: 9/11


All,

With a tie to standard gauge railroading, follow the above link to 4 of my images from 9/11 in New York City last night.

Part of the remembrance of September 11, 2001 is two towers of light, composed of two banks of high wattage spotlights - 44 for each beam that point straight up from Ground Zero; recreating a ghostly image of the World Trade Center. Illumination is only from dusk on September 11 until dawn on September 12.

The red, white, and blue building on the left in the first photo is the new Freedom Tower, more simply known as 1 WTC; when finished will be 104 stories, and 1776 feet tall.

This vantage point is across the Hudson River in my home state of NJ, the brick building and lamp posts, and boat slip in the foreground are part of the former Central Railroad of New Jersey (CNJ) waterfront train/ferry terminal in Jersey City.

Never forget. Never.

Matthew
