You know better than that, Paul!

The Totowa Industrial connects westbound with the stub of the New York & Greenwood Lake, going north.  That's now the Pompton Industrial track.  The EL made sure that they couldn't accidentally run an eastbound train from the Boonton Line into the Totowa Industrial.  They even removed the embankment and regraded the area.  A through move now requires backing up along the former Greenwood Lake line in order to access the Boonton Line on the other side.

Who serves the Pompton Industrial now - NYS&W? or is it inactive?
