The recently poste pictures of the Erie in the center of Passaic were great!! The aerial shots explained a lot of things that I had not seen before. I didn't realize that the tracks made such a sharp turn to the right after leaving the Passaic River bridge. I know there were slow orders for all the trains going through the city because of all the grade crossings, but there probably was one for that curve as well. I'll have to go back and check old ETT's for that. I have an old Hagstroms map of Passaic County and they listed three stations in Passaic. I was never aware of that but I'm wondering if there was a time there was a stop in the center of the city around Monroe St. The map lists Passaic Park, and the Passaic station was listed as "Harrison Street". One last note. It was interesting to see that the last train through the city on Erie tracks was all Lackawanna equipment. Ed Montgomery ------------------------------
