RE: (erielack) Operations: EL in the 60's (2)



Paul,
 
Never say never.  I have photo I took just after Conrail with the NYS&W 1800 sitting right on that bridge waiting to make an interchange movement.  At the time I was Assisitant Passenger Trainmaster and was assigned the task to determine which buildings Conrail owned on former EL properpty that could be eliminated. I was making my study when the SUSYQ showed up.

Not exactly (and please correct me if I'm off here, more knowledgeable folks)...

NYS&W interchanged with EL/Erie at Croxton Yard. NYS&W interchanged with PRR originally at Marion, but due to the delays in trying to get around Croxton Yard to get there, the PRR paid to build a bridge over Croxton so that they could interchange with the Susquehanna in North Bergen. Note that the NYS&W never used this bridge, even though it's commonly known as the "Susquehanna bridge."

The Erie/EL interchanged with the PRR in a small interchange yard just north of Marion (Jim Gerofsky's latest "bigmap" shows this quite well)
