Charlie,
Yes, the "Pusher" was a regularly scheduled yard job-switcher working daylights.

To Rich Pennisi and List;
you refer to "the pusher out of harrison" drilling the montclair industries.
was this term "PUSHER" how you guys referred to it?
Tabor lists this as a regular way freight, working alternately the montclair / millburn drills.
I recently borrowed a friend's book, about the end of steam in New Jersey.
on page 14, there is a photo of a westbound pocono with a psgr train, at mp 17 in Millburn.
in the background is the Millburn Coal & Oil Co. shed and siding.
To my eye, this seems to be served by a trailing turnout off of #2 main, to a switch-back up
and into what appears to be a 2-track wide coal shed, and about 3 car-lengths long.
Anybody remember it?
Tabor's vol 1 shows the original depot in Milburn, and in vol 2 lists that as mp 17;
Bill Shephard and timetables show the second current depot as mile 16.7 or so;
around the curve to the east. looks to me maybe this coal dealer located there about 1910, when the
depot moved, and was gone by 1960 or so when i went there.
73's, CHARLIE GEROW
