Ham and Fair are interlockings, which are switches that are used to route trains. Trenton station sits in the middle of Fair Interlocking. Ham is an interlocking just east of Trenton and Fair Interlocking.What/where are Fair, i8t Ham, and Barracks Yard? I have always wondered where SEPTA wanders off to after it drops the Philly commuters off in Trenton.
This is the view heading east from Fair. The SEPTA train is sitting in the remnants of the old West Barracks Yard. It closed many years ago. The tracks to the right of the high signals is East Barracks yard. Ham sorts all of the tracks so you can reach or leave Trenton from any track.
