Netcong was never painted.  Legend has it that the distinctive brown bricks 
were quarried near Port Murray.  Lackawanna also used that brick elsewhere 
for stations such as Dover, Binghamton, Newark and a few others.

Newton station was simple red brick.  It seems to have been painted green 
after the porch roof was removed late in the steam era.
