Sometime around the merger the Caldwell Branch trains were cut back to
Caldwell. Anybody have that date? Essex Fells was, and probably still is, a
rather exclusive neighborhood--sort of like Short Hills. I wonder why they
would not fight the loss of their own personal railroad station?

Ed,
Well the last passenger train to Essex Fells was in 1966......I have no idea
when the EL stopped interchanging freight with the M&E....Probably sometime
around 1973.....
