The salt traffic that has been under discussion eventually reached its final
destination. As Paul Tup mentioned earlier there was a large salt barn in
Waldwick near the commuter storage yard. Attached are 2 photos taken during
the January 20, 1978 blizzard with some of the salt cars in the background.
U34CH #3378 is WB (note WC on the right side) and cab car #1500 is EB
passing WC. The salt was put to good use in the ensuing days following the
blizzard!

If memory serves me correctly this was the second of 2 large northeasters
that month.
