Baker interlocking (the connection with the Morristown & Erie Railway)-where is (or was) the bakery? Was it in the complex the houses the Staples overlooking the M & E yard and barn? (Formerly ShopRite?)

Regarding the ALP, I actually think that it is ABB Lok Persontagstjanst which roughly translates to ABB Locomotive [for] Passengers.

Nope. The Bakery is on MLK Blvd which is the underpass where the T-box was for the crossover. On the North side. It's still there. Vermucci's or something like that.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that on the ALPs (ABB Locomitive for Passengers), the 44 stands for 4 axles, 4 megawatts. And on the 46s, the 4 stands for 4 axles, 6 megawatts.

Mountain Station looks to be somewhere around the same elevation as Grove St. So it's likely the lowest station west of Broad St, but the lowest point west of Broad St is the point just west of Broad St.

If Grove Street is low, then Roseville Av. is even lower.

We'll have to check with rushhour, the self-appointed authority.
