(erielack) New Connection - Croxton Yard

[Bill Sheppard <sheprail_@_aol.com>]

 Paul & List,

As originally constructed, the New Connection utilized Track 4

of the former DL&W Boonton Line to connect with the former

Erie Greenwood Lake Branch "Third Track", thereby providing

freight trains with access to Croxton Yard. In the early days when

the Boonton Line ran through Paterson to Denville, I recall riding

HB1 from Hoboken to Scranton and catching an approach signal

as NE4 entered the New Conection at the Upper Hackensack Bridge

en route to Croxton Yard. This incident is a reminder that certain

traffic flows in the New York Terminal were asynchronous, resulting

in some trains originating at one place and other trains terminating

elsewhere.
