Hi,
I am researching DL&W owned or operated retail coal pockets. I know specifically of two in NJ - Bloomfield and Summit - from Sanborn maps and DL&W engineering drawings. The drawings of the Bloomfield coal pocket shows a two track structure but the Sanborn maps suggest only one track into pocket so I don't know if was ever built with the two tracks. The drawings of the Summit coal pocket show a long covered conveyor from the track into the pocket. I need help locating photos of these structures. Does anyone have or know where I can find such photos? Thanks
