It's a bit unnerving for an outsider such as myself to post here amongst you who practically live and breath trains, so please bear with me.
I have begun a project where I'm creating a photographic document of any and all remaining stations along the NYS&W line. When I began this, I didn't really have any focus, but then aquired the book "The Next Station Will Be..." Vol 1. I have since decided to do somewhat of a follow-up to that book, shooting "after" shots of the stations from the same vantage points as the 1909-1911 originals (when possible). I have found a number of the stations and photographed them, but need help to either find or verify that a station no longer exists.
I am concentrating my efforts to the NJ stations between Jersey City, Sparta, and up to Warwick, NY. This is what I have found and photographed so far:
What I have found + documented so far:
Bogota
Maywood
Hawthorne
Wortendyke
Wyckoff
Pompton Lakes
(+ one station down the old Greenwood Lake line at Riverdale)
Butler
Newfoundland
the remaining pile of wood that was Beaver Lake
Sparta
Vernon Crossing
If anyone knows of any stations still standing that aren't listed above, could you please let me know?
Also, for those of you who actually run along the line, is there anything at all left of the Pompton Junction buildings? I'm a little nervous to walk the line there as it sits a bit too close to Tilcon.
Here are a smattering of the photographs I've taken:
