To Rich Pennisi and List; you refer to "the pusher out of harrison" drilling the montclair industries. was this term "PUSHER" how you guys referred to it? Tabor lists this as a regular way freight, working alternately the montclair / millburn drills. I recently borrowed a friend's book, about the end of steam in New Jersey. on page 14, there is a photo of a westbound pocono with a psgr train, at mp 17 in Millburn. in the background is the Millburn Coal & Oil Co. shed and siding. To my eye, this seems to be served by a trailing turnout off of #2 main, to a switch-back up and into what appears to be a 2-track wide coal shed, and about 3 car-lengths long. Anybody remember it? Tabor's vol 1 shows the original depot in Milburn, and in vol 2 lists that as mp 17; Bill Shephard and timetables show the second current depot as mile 16.7 or so; around the curve to the east. looks to me maybe this coal dealer located there about 1910, when the depot moved, and was gone by 1960 or so when i went there. 73's, CHARLIE GEROW The Erie Lackawanna Mailing List http://EL-List.railfan.net/ To Unsubscribe: http://Lists.Railfan.net/erielackunsub.html ------------------------------
