"DSCN4269.jpg" - image/jpeg, 2304x1728 (24bit)

Unfortunately I have no photos, but include a 1911 map of the area. It is
interesting to note that the freight house extends under the main line to
reach Cross Street.

Somewhere I have some notes on the skullduggery that went on between the
New Jersey Railroad, the Morris & Essex, and the Newark & Bloomfield and
will send them along if I can find them.
