Re: (erielack) South Paterson

South Paterson???    What station exactly are you talking  about?   There 
became a Station called South Paterson on the new  connection between the 
Erie's Main Line, and the former Lackawanna Boonton  Line.   It was right where 
the tracks went over Getty Ave in  Paterson.  Some how I don't think your 
talking about that new station  stop?
 
When the Boonton Line trains started using the Greenwood Lake Line from Mt  
View east, the tracks in front of the former Lackawanna Sta in Paterson got 
 completely removed as did the Sta.   A little project called Rt 80  wiped 
them out.
 
No service or tracks west of Paterson Jct on the old Lackawanna existed  
after that other than the Totowa Spur that still exists today over around 
Wayne,  NJ.

After  the line through downtown Passaic was abandoned and Main Line 
trains were  routed over the Boonton Line to South Paterson, how many 
Boonton Line  tracks were kept in service beyond South Paterson to 
Dover?  My New  York division public timetable of April 1, 1963, shows 7 
weekday trains  Hoboken to Dover/Netcong and 7 weekday trains 
Washington/Dover to  Hoboken.  When did passenger service on the portion 
of the Boonton  Line between South Paterson and the junction with the 
Greenwood Lake  Branch end?  Was there any freight service on that 
portion of the  Boonton Line after passenger service ended? I know that 
there were, and  perhaps still are, some freight customers in the Totowa 
area, and I  thought that there was a customer in the South Paterson area.
