"Roseville.jpg" - image/jpeg, 590x363 (24bit)

Here's the postcard of Roseville, looking west. I'd date it during
World War I since it's in black and white. Color cards issued
earlier were made in Germany, and the war cut the US off from the
technology used to make them.

Montclair track 1 (outbound) has a double slip switch where it
crosses M&E track 3 (outbound local); unfortunately its intersection
with M&E track 1 (center) is out of the view. Montclair track 2
(inbound) has a diamond crossing of M&E track 3 and a double slip
switch where it crosses M&E track 1. As a result, two double slip
switches are next to each other.

I don't remember if there is a diamond or switch on Montclair track 2
where it crosses M&E track 3 today. There are NO double slip
switches now.
