Paul,

That large light was just platform lighting. I am attaching a night shot
taken by my late friend Bob Duthie that would seem to show this light doing
what it was intended to do. As this shot was taken from the tower, it looks
like the first traditional platform light pole was closer to the tower than
the station - which might indicate a need for the light hanging from the
station eaves.

One more detail about Train 1026: Denville might seem to be an unusual point
of origin for a Boonton Line train. There was a scheduled extra (X-105) that
shows in the ETT. Train X-105 came up the M&E, turned on the wye, and went
east as Boonton Line Train 1026.

The subject line here has become a bit misleading as X-105 and 1026 had been
long gone by April 1969. I have not looked it up but I expect they went in
the September 1966 cut-backs.

Now I will ask a question. This night photo shows the tree that was close to
the tower. What kind of tree was this? I believe the Mountain Lakes Station
has this species today, also Chatham I think.

Paul - are there any details that escape you? I think not!

Dan

What was the large light hanging from the station eaves facing east used
for? A train order signal?
