RE: (erielack) Boonton Line freight trains-analysis

Listers,
 
There was, at one time, a siding at Slateford.  That was torn up way back in the 60's some time. As a holdover from that siding there was a home signal at East Slateford (where the siding ending) that was still there until the end.  Everytime there was a lightening storm around the Water GAp, the relay house there at East Slateford was stuck and screwed up everything for hours.

I thought the only passing siding on the cut-off was at Greendell. Perhaps you're thinking about the "Old Road" coming off at Slateford, which forked into two tracks just past the Junction?
