1.> Erie_Upper_Montclair_c1908.jpg (image/jpeg, 575x408 79151 bytes, BF:
2.96 ppb)
This the old Montclair Erie Station at Walnut Street. Comment says
compare with Erie Station at Upper Montclair. Replaced in early 1960s
2. > Montclair_Bloomfield_Ave_c1908.jpg (image/jpeg, 579x424 110508
bytes, BF: 2.22 ppb)
This is the DL&W crossing of Bloomfield Avenue, Just south of the new
Bay Street Station.
3. > Montclair_Erie_Depot_c1908.jpg (image/jpeg, 537x416 60498 bytes,
BF: 3.69 ppb)
Again Walnut Street, looking west.
4. > Montclair_NJ_c1908.jpg (image/jpeg, 580x387 89457 bytes, BF: 2.51 ppb)
I think this is the DL&W just north of Bloomfield Avenue and 2 above.
The coal
5. > Upper_Montclair_c1905.jpg (image/jpeg, 577x399 97708 bytes, BF:
2.36 ppb)
This definitely the old , recently burned Upper Montclair station.
6. > Upper_Montclair_c1907.jpg (image/jpeg, 577x420 86080 bytes, BF:
2.82 ppb)
AIR there were poplar trees in Anderson Park west of the tracks.
Probably planted by the Essex County Park Park Commission.

Same comment as in #6.
