RE: (erielack) Boonton Line freight trains-analysis

Chuck,
 
1. The west end of the siding was controlled by Stroudsburg and the East end was controlled by Port Morris
2. The towers open at the time of the Conrail take over were: 
former DL&W - Stroudsburg, Port Morris, Dover, Denville, Summit, Roseville Ave., Newark, West End, Grove Street (Hoboken), Hoboken Terminal Tower. 
The drawbridge at Lyndhurst was an interlocking controlled by the bridge operator (not a towerman) as was the Lower Hackensack drawbridge at West End. 
 
former Erie - Suffern (SF), Waldwick (WC), Ridgewood (WJ) HX and DB drawbridges.

Rich,

Was the East Slateford siding controlled from the East Stroudsburg Tower or
Port Morris (UN?) Tower? Also, speaking of towers, what former DL&W towers
were still in operation in NJ at the time of the Conrail takeover?

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?
