M&E division grade elimination

  by R36 Combine Coach
 
Are there photos or images of the M&E division grade elimination program from between 1905-24? I am looking for photos of the old stations prior to elevation in the years 1912-16 (Morris Plains-Chatham), 1900s (Newark) and 1920-23 (Oranges). Also photos of the new stations would be interesting, including Morris Plains, Morrisstown (1915) Convent Station (1912), Madison (1916), Chatham (1914), Brick Church, East Orange (1923). Thanks.

Also, I have noted that Convent Station was built in 1912-13, but one sources lists the old station house replaced by 1914(?) Just would like some clarification.

Yes...check out Taber's DL&W in the 20th Century and Cunningham's Railroad of NJ. Also check local libraries and historical societies. GOOGLE the topic, too, there are several sites including a good one about Roseville Avenue.
