Without too much ado ...
Hudson-Bergen Light Rail, Jersey City, 27.2.2024
Three trains in one picture:

NJT bridge over Jersey Street, Jersey City, 27.2.2024
"Motors" was the American term for electric traction vehicles. The sign with the punched-out inscription "Motors stop" marks the end of the catenary on the southernmost track over the bridge (which used to be a siding and now ends after a few hundred feet):

A short distance after the bridge, the railroad line disappears into the Bergen Tunnels. Above them are two "substations"—I don't think these are substations for railroad operations; rather transformers for operating facilities in the tunnels:

Near 2nd Street in Hoboken, the Light Rail has a double crossover protected by signals:

Here you can see the two opposite signals coming from Hoboken Terminal:

The crossing has moveable frogs:

The outer frogs of the crossing, and those of the switches, do not move:

Finally, a look at a signal at the junction towards Exchange Place, where we had to wait for an opposing yellow line train:
