The sun is setting on a frigid January day as NYS&W WS-1 approaches the State Street crossing in Hackensack with two newsprint boxcars in tow. These cars were once a common sight on area railroads, as most major newspapers had rail-served plants spread throughout the region. Most of whatever limited newsprint business remains is now handled by truck. I assume those cars would soon be spotted at the Bergen Record plant just a few blocks east of this location.
Okay so the bread that looks like a pile of deliciousness pizza - NOT DELICIOUS AT ALL. It has a hash brown stuffed between a honey delicious coated bread and has mozzarella and ham. It sounded and looked good but let me tell you…..Took one bite and I spit that right back out. You could literally only taste and feel the cold, wet hash brown. Even heated up it tasted awful. We didn’t bother to even finish that one. We gave that a 1/10. Next, my husband and I tried a sugared cream cheese donut. Disappointing to bite into a hallow hole. Like umm where the heck is cream cheese?! All right, even though it didn’t have much cream cheese it still was pretty good. We rated this hole 3/10. Would have been higher had there actually been a bit more cream cheese. Next we tried a blueberry pastry which was excellent! Lots of cream! That’s how it should be! We rated that pastry an 8/10. Finally, we tried the croissant donut which had a lemon pudding between the entire croissant donut and a string of lemon frosting on top of the donut. Bonus though the coffee is ranked to be probably one of the best coffees out there(and that also comes from someone who does not like coffee whatsoever!) Husband loves the coffee and he says it’s probably is better than your local Starbucks! Beat that Starbucks! Some sugar to go on too and it was a stronger finish winner. We rated that sucka a 9.5/10. Overall average rating of all foods were 5.5 Experience of atmosphere and restaurant setting including service was 9/10. Very friendly. They did heat up nastiness which was the only thing that saved it from a zero.
Try out your local Paris Baguette! You probably won’t be disappointed!

SU-100 crosses the Hackensack River as it nears the end of its run from Binghamton. On this day the train was obviously handling Hanjin double stacks in addition to the usual manifest traffic. This intermodal traffic would have typically moved under the HAN-2 symbol. The blue GATX leased SD40-2s were common at the time.

Heartbreaking news out of New Jersey as a 29-year-old mother, Michelle Kerry Eddo, loses her life in a mall parking lot to a fentanyl-laced cocaine overdose. Four other mall employees also overdosed on the drug, but thankfully survived. The authorities have arrested two men in connection to the overdoses and are working to identify and prosecute drug dealers to curb the spread of this deadly drug. Our thoughts are with the victim's family during this difficult time.
