"Why does he have a rail station named after him?"
Because he has railroaded conservatives in the state during his terms of election . BTW the bulbs are dim because HE is a dimwit !!
How did they originally install the fixtures and bulbs?
Sounds like someone was bored and the unions wanted a payoff.
First, crack a hole in the roof big enough to drive a crane through. Then, hoist a crane onto the roof using, well, another crane. Build a ramp, widen a doorway and protect the interior floor with some plywood. Then you can start thinking about unscrewing a light bulb. The $700 million Secaucus Junction station was built with no easy way to change the bulbs that surround the rotunda skylight... "Any large facility, like a sports arena or a convention hall, builds in simple, inexpensive ways of performing routine maintenance, but not this one, I guess," said Mahwah's Gene Corrado, who passes through the station twice a day... "Architects design these beautiful buildings and they don't think about how you're going to maintain them," said Control's district manager, Peter Manetti. "But it's just high. It's something that can be done." "It's standard operating procedure," insisted Tom Gallo, the station's operations manager. "It's no different from the kind of maintenance they do at malls." ... "It'll take us a couple of weeks," said Vito Fragola, Control's site manager, when interviewed on the rotunda floor early Tuesday morning... Asked when the lights had last been replaced, Gallo said it had been about two years. Actually, this week is the first time. The station opened 28 months ago and the lights have been slowly burning out since then.

Maybe the folks in New Jersey can use the RICO Act to get rid of the dems?
:’)
Idiot architects.
Oh, so it was a political “gift”. A “grift”. The architects ... maybe they are political grease monkeys, then.
None of this would be happening if Frank Lautenberg were alive today.
Just to give you an idea as to how things are still done up here...

Is that a joke? Physically he’s still alive, the laut.
I'm gonna need proof.
Weekend at Lauties.
Do I gotta say it ?
It is fitting that badly designed boondoggle govt buildings are named after our most lousy elected policians.
Build hooks into the ceiling, to which a pulley can be attached. Use cable slung over pulley to hoist worker to change bulb. Who needs a stinkin’ crane?
Scissor lift.
