| Title: |
Erie/EL/CR Newark Br.-NS Newark Industrial looking eastward at the Roche complex. |
| Description: |
There was a coal yard spur w/trestle(between the 2 tall line poles on left) through the 50's.Headed east bound sidings on right are Royal Paper(Van Ness),Phizer and Globe Products , Durotest (old Dumont plant)on left and Sterns and Foster right,Nelson Iron Wks. left and Brighton Mill/Eastern Colortype/Kidde Corp. on the right just before Bloomfield Ave. . There were at least 6 more active sidings before the Rte.3 overpass.Over a dozen active customers in about a mile kept the local here for a couple of hours daily.I recall the local barreling through here every afternoon at track speed(+?) racing back to Paterson ahead of the commuter rush.The SW would hunt so wildly over the switches that it looked like it was trying to shake the train off it's tail.For a while in the mid 50's a PA was pulling one of the morning commuter trains.The only maintenance after 1966 passenger curtailment was when city threatened to embargo the branch.I can remember the annual weed spraying train(don't eat the blackberrys off the orange bushes!) a Jordan spreader ditching after Hurricane Diane(1955) and labor gangs wielding scythes to clear the brush. |

CR Nwk. Br.(Former Erie/EL,now NS NWK INDUSTRIAL) local |
| Description: |
In the 50's this train was based at Getty Ave. yard in Paterson and ran caboose first eastbound to the east of Washington Ave. Bellville before returning .A second train out of Croxton must have been working the east end.At time of photo local was operating out of Croxton yard via the NX drawbridge in N.Newark.Train is returning east after drilling Royal Paper(now Van Ness).Golf carts are Harley Davidson. The area across the tracks were fields and woods until the early 60's when the branch was still adding traffic. |

Public Service Electric and Gas Athenia substation |
| Description: |
There was a pole yard to the right of gate that received gon loads.Across the NWK.BR. from here ties were buried in the ground and it looked as though a siding once existed there.Until 1970s Northern Iron and Steel had an active spur between here and Athenia Station that shipped scrap in gons. |

Read in an early 90's Railpace article that it was repowered w/diesel engine.The exhaust was originally at the front of the hood and looked like a steam stack.Note the early saftey glass that appears to have chicken wire inside. |
