While waiting for an NJT train to photograph in my hometown of Boonton
yesterday after work, I stumbled upon something I never noticed in my 20
years of trainwatching at this location (see attached "DSC_8531") - it's a
shorn-off steel pipe embedded in concrete on the side of the right-of-way.
My first thought is that this was a water stand for steam locomotives, but
it's an awfully small pipe for that. DSC_8532 shows where the pipe is in
relation to the right-of-way - this view looks east along the former 4-track
DL&W main. The pipe is at the bottom of the image.

Any thoughts?
