A truly wonderful picture.

A historic shot of an era gone by.

Seeing older shots like this one is almost like having a time machine.

Classic Americana

Slightly different than it appears today. One has to love the 57 Olds on the left. Wonderful pictorial fossil.

It looks like they were a little stingy with the ballast in those days! Look at those cribs.

It's actually downtown Passaic, NJ... and that line was in operation until April, 1963, when the E-L favored the former DL&W line and abandoned this segment. I was actually there to see the last day of service (probably on a Saturday). There was a big celebration with a train stopped there right downtown on the 2-track median ROW. I wasn't quite 9 yet then, and my parents didn't have a camera with them. Things would never be the same.
