List,

The attached two photos might help illustrate the change made
west of the Lake Hopatcong station when NJTransit built the
new ladder at the east end of the Port Morris yard.

Aug 1998: This eastbound (led by ex-EL Comet I cab car 5116)
has just cleared the point where the double track merged to one
track leading toward Netcong.

Dec 1999: Track crew is finishing the new track to the new ladder.
Notice there is no crossover at this location between the two tracks.

Hope this is of some help.

Mike Dodge

Subject: (erielack) Morris Junction

As someone asked, I've changed the subject to reflect what we are discussing.

I have a copy of NJ Transit Physical Characteristics, TRO-7 of 2000. At that time, Morris Jct was EAST of Lake Hopatcong station at milepost 45.2, where it is now. There were no crossovers between the station and Port Morris Yard at that time.

Trains to or from the yard use the north track in the Lake Hopatcong station. Trains to or from Hackettstown use the south track.
