Ok, working with Charlie S, hopefully I've got this right.  I think I'm down to typos.

X2249; Ampere, NJ; Grove St overpass elevation, From Grove looking RR S;[1921.xx.xx] (1)
X2250; Ampere, NJ; Maple Ave crossing, looking RR SW; [1921.xx.xx] (2)
X2251; Ampere, NJ; Maple Ave crossing, looking RR W;[1921.xx.xx] (3)
X2252; Ampere, NJ; Grove St overpass, looking RR NE; [1921.xx.xx] (4)
X2253; Ampere, NJ; Grove St overpass, looking RR NW; [1921.xx.xx] (5)

COMMENTS & NOTES:
After the Grove crossing, I've assumed the next is Arlington.  Charlie S pointed out that there had been a crossing at Maple Ave at some point (certainly gone with the elevation).  Never made it to any of the earlier maps.  Maple ran parallel to Grove, ONE block out.  Cutting through everything, I'm kind of thinking when Grove construction began, they put Maple in as a temp measure.

(1) We are RR N of the ROW looking RR S. Detour to Maple Ave "-->"  Crossroad is probably Emerson, as there are no houses down the right side.
(2) Mr. Barry turns 90 degrees and shoots down Emerson at the Maple Ave crossing.
(3) He moves up to the Maple crossing and shoots W to Watsessing.
(4) Moves back along the EB (temp Main) and shoots down Lafayette @ Belgrade (dirt path) in front of the ROW.  Grove St Overpass is on the right.  Maple Ave comes in behind us from the right and the curved curb on the left in front of ?Mr Barry's car, is the tail of Maple going up to Belgrade and then presumably along the ROW to the Maple Crossing.
(5) Corner of Grove and Rutledge, one long block from the overpass.  Rutledge is the next crossing East due to Grove & Rutledge forming a close to perfect triangle crossing the ROW.

All of these pics tie into each other with much difficulty.  The key is:
