 the station at Denville; trains that called at Denville had to back
 up to reach the station (eastbound) or back up after stopping (west-
 bound).
 
 The two accesses to the loop were the east leg of the current wye at
 Denville and another track that followed the current alignment of I-80
 roughly from the Denville Firemen's Field to about a half mile east
 of where the Boonton line crosses under I-80.  The second one was 
 taken out when the loop closed.

Your not differing, your agreeing. Again, the Rockaway loop trains that made 
a Denville station stop used the cement under pass in both directions, 
regardless of whether they used the east leg of the wye or the old Ketchem 
switch, which disappeared early.
