A couple of years ago I did a brief narrated history of my hometown of  
Cranford for our town's Web site.  The first photo on the site shows the  second 
Cranford station on the Central Railroad of New Jersey.  The station  is at the 
same location as today's station, except on the north side of the  tracks.  
There was a more elaborate grade-level station which was  built on the site 
after the building shown in the photo and before the  current station was 
constructed.  The present day station was built in the  1930s as part of a project to 
remove grade crossing through the middle of the  business district.
 
If you click on the photo it's enlarged and you can hear some brief  comments 
about the role of the CNJ in Cranford's past.
