I remember seeing a chemical facility at Edgewater still getting tank cars shortly before the branch was abandoned. Many moons ago I posted a consist sheet for EL train SF-100, circa 1975. On that sheet it had a few cars destined for "Lever Bros., Edgewater, NJ" in there as well. - Paul The Erie Lackawanna Mailing List Sponsored by the ELH&TS http://www.elhts.org ------------------------------
