  I am happy to report the Upper Montclair train station is rising from the ashes! As you may recall the station suffered a devastating fire back in 2006. The former Erie station is located along the Erie Railroad Greenwood Lake Division. Part of today's NJ Transit Montlair - Boonton Line. The original station was lost in the fire except for the small rear porte cochereire, and this surviving piece has been adapted into the rear of the new station where it has stood for over 100 years, the station will look very similar to the old Erie station, albeit larger. In fact this "prefab" Upper Montclair station you see will have a slate roof and clay tile adornments like the original when it's completed. It's nice to see the construction project is being overseen by the State of New Jersey Historic Preservation office.
  I attached one photo of the rear of the station that "Sorta" matches the 1910 photo in the Next Station Will Be.. book the Railroadians Of America published. I also sent a photo of the little freight house located just west of the station, it still retains it's DERECO barn red paint!
