However, it seems there once was a PRR track that descended from the NW side of the high line on the north side of the DL&W; I assume that tree-covered embankment north of the new connecting track carried that PRR track down to ground level somewhere around the east end of the DL&W Harrison yard.
Tim,
From your description I think you are talking about the PRR's access to the meat packing plants along Harrison Avenue. Last I checked, Conrail still owned the property on the north side of the DL&W, containing the big puddle, but south of the landfill. This was the PRR right of way. I believe this is how Swift Interlocking got it's name, also.
There were also Erie tracks in this area, coming off of the Newark Branch.
