Hello Friends of Smiley and Phoebe
   
  There was a slaughter house named "Miller's" somewhere Passaic Junction. One of the Morning Sun books has a picture of ATSF stockcars in rthe NYSW yard there,

  I recall a photo posted a couple of years ago of an NKP stock car around 
1967, I think at Passaic Jct for interchange to Susie-Q. Perhaps this was 
the same move. Obviously, your car wasn't consigned to a Kosher 
slaughterhouse! The stock pen at Port Jervis is visible on the front cover 
of the EL 2006 calendar, which features a PA-E8 combo. I'm thinking that 
Bill Sheppard's diagram book may contain the track layout at Chester.

Does nobody know what the track layout was in Chester and where those cattle
cars were dropped relative to the slaughterhouse which was on the South side
of 17 while the Erie mainline was North of 17 and a fair distance from the
slaughterhouse. Occasionally in the late sixties after those cattle
deliveries had stopped Port Jervis would get a car load of hogs yarding in
Port Jervis which needed to be cut out and taken down to the stock pen for
watering and feeding which was almost directly across from the station at
the East end of the Port Jervis terminal close to where the concrete base of
the water tower for I believe pushers still exist to this date.
