Re: (erielack) Lackawanna car shops exposed

[Dlw1el2_@_aol.com]

Records at Steamtown show both freight and passenger cars being constructed 
 at E. Dover.   Don't think it was sold, just converted to a frog and  
switch factory by the Lackawanna.

One of the  oldest Lackawanna buildings extant is apparently getting a new 
lease on life.  Jan Packaging in Dover, NJ has removed the two additions 
that used to hide the  face of Lackawanna's old Dover Car Shops building, and 
they appear to be  restoring it.  Attached are some then and now photos. The 
building in  these photos was opened in 1881, the original structure burned 
in 1880. After  a larger car and locomotive shop was built in Kingsland ca. 
1905, the Dover  Car Shops were sold to become Dover Frog & Switch. The 
building has  survived a lot. The scene in the contemporary photo can be seen 
from a passing  trains on NJTransit.
