Re: (erielack) Earle Gil EL photos, group 3
You mean DENVILLE tower...
The south track went AROUND the flyover; it was met by the track going under it. The south track was abandoned many years ago. Its bridge over NJ 53 was removed seven or eight years ago (this week; I don't remember if it was on the weekend of Perry's eighth or ninth birthday). NJT now uses the southern of the two tracks on the bridge, next to the freight.
