The posting regarding the upper end of the Greenwood Lake Branch piqued my interest, are their any publications that have photos of the Essex Fells Branch (abandoned in the sixties?) to Caldwell and Essex Fells. I work in the area and it boggles my mind that so little of it remains (cool bridge over R23 notwithstanding) One of the two Lackwanna books by MS has a photo of the M&E yard at Essex Fells. I have a 61' Official Guide that lists five trains (two morning, three in the pm) between Essex Fells and Hoboken. A lot of the right -of-way has houses on it now, though some abutments and bridges still remain here and there. After exploring the remnants of the CNJ and the DL&W I guess I should expect to get an "Erie" infection.
