(erielack) Web Site Updates & 20th Century Hobbies Newsletter

Hi gang-


In the past couple of months we have made a few updates to the web 

site, mostly in relation to the Right of Way page.  These include 

pictures and narration from Howard Haines of the Coalberg 

Junction/Passaic Junction Yard, major interchange between the Erie 

Lackawanna and the New York, Susquehanna and Western in 1987.  

To compliment these pictures from the past, we've put up some 

recent pictures (November 2001) of the same area.


In addition, we've some pictures of the EL Gladstone branch 

(a/k/a Happy Rock) as it appears today.  Pictures of the yard, 

trackage and buildings from that branch as well as some of the 

stations and a bridge.

The latest is the attachment of the panels to the layout and the 

start of panel to layout wiring about two years behind schedule.
