(erielack) North Jersey Track Diagrams



I'm in the process of drawing track diagrams of the Erie and DL&W lines in
New Jersey to post on my web site.  I have a collection of photocopies and
originals from the '60's and earlier as my source.  The Erie and DL&W have
to be redrawn.  This is where I need some help.  I was a little too young
to get a personal view of the Erie Station in Jersey City, though I do
remember seeing a few times the track approach to the station as it passed
under the highway leading to the Holland Tunnel.  I would appreciate any
info on the track layout for the station, coach yards, and its approaches
from Croxton (Bergen) Jct through the arches and tunnel.  A hand sketch
would be great.  My sources are bad for visualizing switch configuration at
interlockings; I could use some help there.
The signal symbols are another mystery.  I've been able to figure out some
form other sources, but I've been unsuccessful in finding a symbol legend
to make the signal symbols correct.

The drawings are far from complete, but will keep on them and adding. 
Thank you for your help
Hank Sundermeyer
