I'm following up on a thread from a few months ago about Roseville Ave., NJ, the old DLW junction between the electrified Morris & Essex main and the similarly electrified Montclair Branch (now the Montclair-Boonton Line due to the Montclair Connection).  I finally got a chance to go thru there on a quiet day and get some pix.  Quickly.

Shot 1 should be the former location of the tower, currently a 'community garden' (which doesn't seem to be doing too well).  Roseville Avenue itself is the street on the right.  The M&E mainline tracks are down in a cut between the garden and the brick building in the middle of the pic.  Shots 2, 3 and 4 are taken just a hundred yards or so from the junction point, on the Montclair Branch.  In shot 2 you can see thru the fence at the remains of the platforms on the Branch.  Shots 3 and 4 show the abandoned MacAvoy (sp?) apartments, slated for demo shortly.  The small lot in the foreground (at the corner) was once the site of a station structure and stairways leading down to the platforms, I think.  FYI
