22nd Street is a station with two side platforms, on the Hudson–Bergen Light Rail (HBLR) located above ground at Avenue E and East 22nd Street in Bayonne, New Jersey. It is served at all times by the Hoboken-8th Street Line. ==Description== The station was the terminus of the HLBR between its opening as a single station extension on November 15, 2003 to the opening of 8th Street, the next station south, on January 31, 2011. The station has two side platforms on two tracks, and while serving as a terminal trains departed from either track and reversed at a crossover north of the station. To the south, the two tracks continue for a bit before merging into one that ended at a bumper block before 8th Street opened. This meant trains could have also reversed directions south of the station, but this was not normally done and the tail track was simply used for short-term storage. Some rush hour trains terminate at this station because of the operational constraints posed by the single track.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=22nd Street - (NJT Hudson-Bergen Light Rail) - The SubwayNut )〕 The station is located on a private right-of-way in a shopping area. Local streets pass underneath via 11-foot clearance tunnels. A freight track is to the east of the station, running along the northbound platform on the right-of-way. The platforms have the traditional HBLR canopies.The northbound track has a full length wall of semi-opaque glass bricks, forming a windscreen between it and the freight track. Etched in these bricks are etched silhouettes of Bayonne's industrial architecture by Kate Dodd. The track glass walls have an artwork called ''Doors and Windows of Bayonne'' by Lisa Kaslow. These consist of actual fiberglass, copper and patina doors models of doors and windows from architectural details of Bayonne. The southbound platform has its own colorful glass windscreens, although portions of this platform on an embankment have a simple, low fence.〔 The artwork is called ''Bayonne Time & Tides'' by J. Kenneth Leap and shows the history of Bayonne through photographs and maps. The glass windscreens in the shelters have etchings by Kate Dodd of Bayonne's industrial past.〔 Only the southbound platform has access to the streets. At the north end, a staircase leads down to the south side of 22nd Street between Avenue E and Prospect Avenue. The south end entrance contains an elevator for ADA access with a brick enclosure and a staircase down to the north side of 21st Street. Each entrance area has a small canopy with ticket vending machines and validators (making the platforms a fare paid zone). Pedestrian crossings at either end provide access to and from the northbound platform.〔 One block from the station is a 159 space park and ride lot. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「22nd Street (HBLR station)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
