As promised, here's the photo of the lineup of cars at the Boonton
freighthouse. This shot was taken in 1969, and shows four cars. The first
car (starting at the left) is a UP high-cube boxcar - I'm assuming this one
was probably in appliance service. Second car is a GARX RBL (can't read who
it's leased to, alas). Third car is a "waffle-side" NP double-door boxcar,
and the last car is a cotton belt double-plug door boxcar. I'm guessing
these last two cars were for lumber.

Check out the nicely superelevated main, too!

Enjoy!
