Fred,

Thanks for that info.  I'm curious about Sterling Forest.  If there were
extra tracks there, is this a place where the crews would start from and
end or did trains need to be deadheaded back and forth to Wanaque-Midvale?

Charles,


Some answers to your questions,


Q: wasn't the NY&GL double-tracked to Mountain View at one time?


A: No, the double track went from DB to Great Notch where the Caldwell
Branch ran to Essex Fells and Verons


Q: Also, was the line
>always singled tracked north of Mountain View


A: No, north of Mountain view was always single track with a few passing
sidings and some industries. If you would like some track diag's let me
know and I'll direct you off the list.


 Q: Finally, was there ever a
>yard at Greenwood Lake, prior to the line's truncation (due to the
building
>of the Wanaque Reservoir) later on?


A: Again, no. the northernmost yard per say was at Wanaque-Midvale.
Greenwood Lake (Sterling Forest) had a couple of tracks but no big yard.



I hope this helps you. I have a ton of info on the Greenwood Lake Branch
and also a section on my website. If I can be of any help to you or anyone
else on the list, don't hesitate to ask.
