Hello,

I did a search on Totowa or Little Falls and got the following hits on
folders in the Steamtown Archives. Let me know if any sound of interest:

By 1974 Beattie Carpets were almost out of business using a small
portion of their large plant to hang on. There probably wasn't enough
product to ship by rail. They closed down in either the late 70s or
early 80s if I recall correctly.

Ed,

According to Bill Sheppard's diagram book, and after having consulted
with Rich Pennisi on this very same topic, here's a list of the
industries (at least as of 1974) and what they shipped or received on
most of them. I don't recall a Yardley plant and Beattie Carpets
received carpets from boxcars set out at the Little Falls team track on
the NY&GL side.

More comments below the list... these are listed from west to east,
starting at Parish Drive in Wayne:

Western Publishing
Team track at Parish Drive
Continental Can
Universal Mfg (off "Airport switch")
Hudson
Bayonne
Amber Warehouse
Universal Bond
Thomas Bakery - FLOUR IN CB&Q CVD HOPPERS MGM Whse - FURNITURE IN Ford -
AUTO PARTS IN Contract Packaging Co Omega Warehouse Co-Op concrete -
