Re: (erielack) Stanhope

["Gary R. Kazin" <gkazin_@_yahoo.com>]

TABER's history of the DLW, 20th Century, volume 2, has a list of
stations:

STANHOPE, N.J.  48.0  M&E
Name changed to Netcong in 1902.  New brick station 1902.

This volume includes a reproduction of the May 19, 1901 schedule.  Station
list: Dover, Port Oram (now Wharton, but with no station), Mt Arlington
(to be revived in a few years at Howard Blvd, which has moved slightly
west), Hopatcong, Port Morris, Stanhope, Waterloo, Hackettstown...

For some time, the timetable entry was Netcong/Stanhope, but it was the
same station.
