Funny, Greendell didn't look too demolished last time I drove by it...

Greendell Station to be Demolished - 1942

Public Utilities Grants Lackawanna Privilege After it is Found that
There Were Only Two Passengers in Week.

Public Utilities Commission, it has been announced, has approved the
Lackawanna Railroad's petition to abandon and demolish railroad stations
at Mt. Arlington and Greendell and discontinuance of freight service in
less than carload lots at Johnsonburg. The commission found Mt.
Arlington can be served adequately through Lake Hopatcong station and
that Blairstown will serve Johnsonburg.

The Commission found in the case of Greendell that only two passengers
used the station in a week before the time when hearings were held on
the Lackawanna's petition and that almost all of the freight is being
handled in carload lots.

Johnsonburg, under the arrangement, gets a change of schedule. Instead
of having an eastbound train stop at 12:51 P.M., a train will stop at
8:25 A.M. The westbound stop will be at 8:58 instead of 7:20 P.M.
