Hi,
Does anyone know what colors the Cliffwood and Morgan stations were painted. I have only found black and white photos.
I am modeling the NY&LB railroad in the 1950.
Thanks

Most wooden stations on the NY&LB were painted in CNJ's two-tone green, as were other wood structures such as freight houses, crossing shanties, etc.

Late fifties, most of them would be faded and peeling.

I had no Idea there was a Morgan Station, I thought it was only the drawbridge...

Was the old cliffwood station where the Milu Bus Company is now?

There's a pic of Morgan Station in Don Wood's NY&LB book. It was more of a shelter than a "building", and was located just (railroad) west of the current Route 35 overpass, heading toward the draw, on the westbound side of the tracks.
