Re: (erielack) West Paterson Spur

[Bill Sheppard <sheprail_@_aol.com>]

Bob,

Not sure how long it lasted (the turnout was located

outside the interlocking plant). Between where Valley

Road crossed overhead the West Paterson Spur and

the former DL&W station at Paterson, there were two

sidetracks, one of which served a coal dock just east

of the station. Can't recall their names though.

How long did it last, and who where the customers?

After  service was abandoned on the Boonton Line between

Paterson Junction and  Paterson was maintained. This portion

Access to this spur track was controlled by  a hand-thrown

switch with an electric lock and pipe connected  derail.
