Tommy,
 
Gallo Wine may not necessary have had a warehouse/distribution center  
located on the EL.  During the years in question, NY-98 often ran via  Scranton 
in 1972 when it originated out of Chicago, and in 1973 - 1974, was put  on 
the Scranton side for the most part.  When it later (1975 - 76)  originated 
out of Marion it continued to run via Scranton.  Likewise,  SF-100 ran via 
Scranton from early 1974 into 1976.  Result was that  the Gallo Wine loads 
designated for their Elizabeth warehouse were put on  SE-98 when NY-98 and 
SF-100 set off at Scranton before continuing to  Croxton.

block of 4-6 cars loaded with wine. =

Pat that's  interesting. Do you or anyone know if a distribution center was
located on  EL? The only Gallo warehouse location in northern New Jersey
that I could  find currently is in Elizabeth. It still has a rail siding --
a Google maps  view from this year showed four boxcars on the Gallo siding
- -- but it looks  like it is located on the former Central Railroad of New
Jersey. It's  located on Division Street in Elizabeth, just west of the old
CNJ  Elizabethport yard.
