Fwd: (erielack) A former Boonton line customer

[Dlw1el2_@_aol.com]

A friend Bill Amaducci and his family have been the primary owners of  
Norda Chemical, thus I forwarded the questions Paul and others asked on to him  
for complete clarification. Here is his reply.

Bob. I'm not on the EL list but would like to be. As far as shipments go  
from Norda, most of it was powdered flavors such as butterscotch, vanilla  
sugar , cake mixes and all types of cake mix ingredients for folks such as  
General Mills, General Foods , Sara Lee, etc. This shipped out to the Midwest  
mostly Chicago and Minneapolis all loaded into boxcars. We received by rail 
on  flatcars some heavy equipment such as shovels from Koehring in 
Milwaukee and  bulldozers from Evansville, I'll.
      In the late 60's and 70's we leased three GATX tank  cars and 
received orange oil from Tropicana in Bradenton, Florida. Usually  made a round 
every 3 to four weeks. Of course in the early 1940's coal hoppers  were set out 
on the trestle for the boiler room. I remember when they were  spotting the 
tankers one night, they hit the concrete bumper real hard and  knocked it 
off the trestle end. 
       Incidentally , I found aerial photos of the  foundation of the old 
West Boonton tower which some people were asking about  since a photo of it 
appeared about a couple months ago.  It was about  400ft west of the fanny rd 
overpass.    Bill.

input into Pauls question.
