Attached is a shot of the Punch Bowl road overpass taken trackside looking west in November 1971. Note the staircase between the two spans which provided access to the trolley in past times. We see the space for the staircase at street level in X1398. If the traction company paid a share for the bridge, they did not get much utility from that investment. Today of course, the bridge again sees use on the Traction Line Recreation Trail. I so wish that a trolley was passing overhead in X1398.

I sent this earlier today but with no success.

Two people seem to think Convent Sta. I'm fine with that until proven
otherwise.

Bob,



Could X1398 be Convent Station, NJ and the traction line in the background
is the Morris County Traction Company? The curved abutments for the first
bridge are similar to a M&E bridge in that area.
