Bill, We did have a roof and one wall. The station itself is a
stub-end that probably had 8 tracks. I think we would have been
protected from anything but a strong driving rain. Of course, ice, and
sleet would be another matter.
On that same note, several years ago several of the HO clubs set up at a
large furniture store turned into a flea market. A major roof leak on
their layouts resulted in all club members moving the setup in one quick
move.
Inside what was probably a baggage storage room was a full height
photo mural of some ATSF PA's in the station. It hosted the MP and
ATSF. I don't think the MKT or the SP had much passenger business onto
the island. I've been told the MP used a single PA with 2-3 cars to
connect with Eagle service in Houston.

Bob & Peter,
Wow they treat their clubs well when it comes to setting up. I would
have said no roof and walls - no trains.
Back in the day CJSS used to do the Liberty State Park show in the CNJ
terminal. More than once we had the worst accommodations. There was no
glass in the windows and rain water on the floor but we had a roof!
Thank You,
Bill Lane
