RE: (erielack) Erie Railroad Facilities Vol. 1: New Jersey

I could not agree more, Joe.  For all the time I've spent trying to get a handle on railroads in New
Jersey, which is not all that easy for somebody who grew up where there really are HILLS, Bob
Yanosey's book is extremely helpful in getting a grip on the branches, where the junctions were, and
how they operated together.  Now I (more or less) "get it."    Also, for all the mentions of the
Croxton engine terminal, and other similar fabled locations, those are the only photos I've ever
seen of the roundhouse there.

Thanks, Bob, for putting out that book.
