Re: (erielack) Morristown & Erie interchange
I take it that this meant that Ridgedale Avenue must have been blocked a
good portion of the time.

During the mid 1980s the M&E was serving a warehouse on the Vornado Spur
that was receiving carloads of dog and cat food. Conrail would interchange
the 50' boxcars of pet food at Lake Junction. Frequently, the M&E would
operate two ALCOs (mixed or matched C424s or C430s) to tote these freight
cars. At the Vornardo Spur it was a great show watching the railroad switch
the freight cars along the side of the road.
