Re: (erielack) Steamtown Images--August 7,8,9, 2017--X Series (X2207-X2217)



Some additional thoughts on the pics in the East Orange Elevation series.  Minor mods to basic ID's.
8/07/17:
X2207--East Orange, NJ--Halsted St, looking SW, Retaining Wall [1921.10.19](2)

While ID'd from Pat, less than half were obvious (to me) on their own.  Support & comments:
1. X2206 ties into X2007 only by construction details.
2. X2207 ties into house & brick building in X1918:

3. X2208 house on left ties in with some details and not others in C1606:

4. X2209 Armour matches Sanborn and X1954 (looking E):

5. X2210 House on left is on the right in C1597, ROW looking West:

6. X2211 Frame & brick buildings on right visible in:
http://lists.railfan.net/erielackphoto.cgi?erielack-09-12-15/C1594.jpg
http://lists.railfan.net/erielackphoto.cgi?erielack-09-13-15/C1596.jpg
7. X2212 Details and track layout match X2211, Commonwealth bldg (Main St) in distance.
8. X2213 Oddly, I can't find a similar earlier photo.
9. X2214 Oddly, only obvious match with X2213 is Gon 68144.
10. X2215 House on right same as house in X2213. Back side of cement mixing car crane.  Possibly someone can explain how it works.
11. X2216 Stairway to nowhere.
12. X2217 North side of ROW
