Erie in Paterson, NJ

In Paterson, NJ I always cross over a very abandoned ROW with two tracks. If I'm on Railroad Ave (paralelling the current NJT ROW) the road ends at 21st Ave. Right turn on 21st Ave and you'll cross the old ROW. It goes through the park under rt 80 crosses Peach St, then ends at Getty Ave. I know there was a spur to the warehouns on Getty Ave, which is now St Joes Hospital personell dept. Does anyone have any info about this row?

Second, does anyone have any photos of this line, or the old DL&W Station(s) in Paterson?

Could any of you guys help?

The DL&W "Paterson Spur" you describe used to serve businesses in the Prince St/Dale Ave @ Green St area. It went behind St. Joes at grade level, crossed Main St at grade level (the crossing signals were there until quite recently) and paralleled the Erie"Newark Branch" (now NJT) line at grade level (?) and just to the North and joined the DL&W Boonton line just West of Hazel.

Still can see it on Topozone:
