Hi,



Thanks to Mike for the reference photo. In the meantime, I found a diagram
from 1918 showing the spur and the freight house at Hopatcong.
Interestingly, the spur off the "old Road" had another spur track as it
approached the end at Landing Road. There were two structures shown in the
diagram - the freight house and company stores building. Two plans are
posted - one showing the overall view of the siding and Hopatcong and the
other larger view of the location.

>This is not a great look, but there is a c. 1912 photo on the Landing New
Jersey site which gives a glimpse of the building:

>You will need to scroll nearly to the bottom of the page as the picture is
third up from the bottom. The freight house is across the bridge on the
right side.

>This site has been referenced previously on the list because of other
photos and postcards of the station and ice house.
