040: Curving into Mountain View on the "new connector," the remains of the
NY&GL line to Wanaque are seen at the left

045: Now on the original DL&W Boonton Line alignment, about to duck under
NJ State Route 23 (Totowa Hobby Shop would be off to the right about 500
feet :)

046: This one's for Ed Montgomery. :) Passing under Parish Drive in Wayne -
that's the old DL&W Mountain View station area on the left just beyond the
bridge.

047: I believe this used to be Western Publishing? (or was this Continental
Can?) Just past the station area.

048: Near the Wayne PAL. I believe EL's team track used to be on the right
here.

050: Only bridge on the Totowa Industrial, crossing over the Naachpunkt (!)
Brook. Note the abandoned second track.

051: Only grade crossing (Taft Road) on the former DL&W portion of the
Totowa.

053: A modeler's delight! The tracks on the right are in front of the former
MGM Warehousing facility. The trailing points directly ahead of the train
are for the Thomas Bakery (behind and to the left)

054: A better look at some of the more complicated trackwork around MGM.

055: The track coming from MGM is meeting up with the main. About to go
under Interstate Rt. 80.

059: Heading the other direction, this is the same MGM/Thomas switch as seen
earlier.


You can check out many of these locations during the "Discover Day" that we
did 15 years ago (REALLY??? I'm getting old!)
