Re: (erielack) Water tower on the NJ Cut Off?

Actually, if it was John I. Blair's ghost, he was lost.  Blair died in 1899, 
ten years before work began on the Cutoff.  In fact there was much grumbling 
in town about how far away the Blairstown station was from the town center 
(over 2 miles).  The local paper, the Blairstown Press (which regretably just 
died this year), had many letters commenting that "this would never have 
happened if John Blair were still alive!"
