Sorry! Hit the wrong button and sent the above email without text.

Photo G08: The map above shows the location of the Essex County Coal
Company on the 1904 Mueller Orange Atlas. The photograph would be oriented
railroad east, east of Center Street.

Note the location of the Swift Brothers at the grade crossing at the top of
the map. This helps locate photo G010, which looks railroad east from the
old Orange station, past Swifts, with the spire of the old North Orange
Baptist church in the distance.

Photo G09: May well be the Lindsley Coal yard directly opposite the old
Orange station. They had a switch and an off-center wooden trestle. View
for this one would also be railroad east along the customer's siding.
