Re; The Wheel Stop on the Closter Team Track Drawing isn't my strong suit, but I found a more modern representation of an Aldon product http://www.westernsafety.com/products/aldon2012/aldon2012pg27-S87RailSkid.jpg Rather than an attachment, I believe this was an actual forging / casting of some sort...

I'd vote for Closter! Cool pocket siding for the stone seller, great station, lots of interest north of Closter Dock Road for the team track, JJ Demarest, Reuten Windows... and that team track had a fantastic 'stopper", not exactly a bumping post, but sort of a forged or cast low level arcing r...

Thank you Sir Ray!

With all due respect, I think there's some geographic confusion here. The concrete plant appears to be in Chesapeake, not on the Eastern Shore.

Or am I the one confused?

Sorry, but Ken is correct. Kingsland is part of Lyndhurst Township.

Your reference calls out several other locales, each of which is part of an existing borough, city or township of Bergen County.

There are no "unincorporated towns" within the county.

When Delaware Otsego was still a publicly traded company, Mr. Marcellus and at least one of the upstate New York shippers were on the Board of Directors. I know that's going back 30 years, and I seem to recall the Marcal rail freight volume had fallen off considerably since that time. Seems like one...

Slightly off topic, and I apologize... I'm not attempting a thread hijack... But when you mentioned Lionel, I have a distant memory of an early 60's Lionel catalog that pictured O gauge tracks with train on trestle bents, with an HO line running through the bents concentrically below...same loco and...

Oh I wasn't saying it was impossible, really just trying to get a handle on whether it made any economic sense for CSX... I'm not sure how frequently they come up to Ridgefield and Englewood now... would they drop the existing cars and run north just with the locomotive and the gondolas or hoppers f...

Just bumping this up for anyone interested in the old Erie Northern and Piermont lines. On the NJ side, there's talk about reopening the line north from Englewood to Closter, about seven miles. The rails are still there, but the line north of Englewood was severed by the removal of a stick rail nort...

It's an interesting situation. How many cars would need to be generated to justify the line improvements, even if it is to operate at 10 mph from Palisade Avenue north? Lots of crossings and traffic light synchronizing circuits to reactivate, some ballasting, tie and rail work, including restoring t...

Just idle speculation, but between Closter Dock Road ad Blanch Avenue there are potentially a number of sites where construction debris or other solid waste might be loaded... any demolition under consideration in the area?

Useless factoid that needs confirmation... I was summer student at Cornell in 1973. Great restaurant called The Station in the LV station. I believe the restaurant had the station’s clock hands positioned at the time the last train left the station, also shown on the menu... But boy that was a long ...

B&M's comments about the pilings reminded me of the initial construction of I-80/95 in the early '60's in Bergen County. That slight bulge north through Englewood and Teaneck was a result of the same Overpeck issue. Sunk in the muck along the Englewood-Leonia border are a succession of attempts,...

Yes, prior to the installation of a correctly facing connection at Campbell Hall, the NYS&W trains had to enter the former L&HR Maybrook line northeast and have the motive power run around the train. Regular procedure in the late '80's if memory serves me correctly.

Yup, there is still at least one customer just north of Route 4 around West Englewood Avenue, nothing active north of Palisade Avenue for a long time though.
