Thanks again to Rich Wisneski for forwarding the attached images along...
Here are Rich's descriptions:

PATDLW1 is a view looking railroad east at track level. The photo is dated
10/3/62. A few years after this photo was taken the station was demolished
and this portion of the Boonton Line was abandoned and sold to NJDOT for the
I-80/NJ 20 (now NJ 19) interchange.

PATDLW2 is a view looking railroad west at track level. The photo is dated
10/3/62.

PATDLW3 (10/3/62) also looks railroad west, but is at the west end of the
platforms.

PATDLW4 (10/3/62) is a view of the main station structure from street level.

This was on the westbound (outbound) side, which is a little unusual, but
presumably was located there as it "faced" the city; the inbound side pretty
much hugged up against Garrett Mountain.

PATDLW5 (10/3/62) is a view from the adjoining street looking towards the
main station building. Note the overgrowth of weeds, vines and shrubs.

The final photo is a view looking west at the Lincoln Park station, it's
dated 5/16/72 and is labeled: New renovated Erie Lackawanna railroad station
in Lincoln Park.

In 2002 this station is still in place and appears to be in pretty good
shape.

I suppose the 1972 renovation of the station might have been when the yellow
RxR lighted crossing signals were installed here and at Towaco, and the blue
park/ride trailblazer signs installed? Note that a train or a cut of cars
appears to be sitting down at the west end of the siding (which is in the
center of the photo - the single main track is to the right by the fence.
