(erielack) DL&W Broad Street, Newark

[ShepRail_@_aol.com]

The Lower Level of Newark Drawbridge served several team tracks and a large 
freight house
that was built on property fronting on Broad Street, Newark.   The status of 
freight house fire 
detectors was displayed on a large panel located in Newark Tower.   
Additional public delivery
tracks were located along Orange Street in Newark by the Bordens Plant.   

Access to the Lower Level at Harrison was converted to remote-control from 
Newark Tower. A separate set of semaphore signals on either side of the draw 
span on the Lower Level were 
controlled by the bridgetender, I recall.
