No, the only connection to Grove's operation was just east of M.P. 9.0 on the 
Morristown & Erie Railroad where the highway passes over the track. 
Everything came in and was shipped back out via Essex Fells as the U33C's were too 
heavy for the Passaic River trestle. I have quite a few slides of the operations 
including the movement of everything outbound when th eproject was completed.
