Attached are a three photos of the Erie mainline through Passaic. All
where taken by Henry Vitz in February of 1963;

The first is a picture of the tracks in downtown Passaic.

The second shows a derail at the Passaic Park station that protected the
Passaic River bridge. I would guess when the bridge opened the rail to the
right would shift left. Hard to believe they would have this in a station.
I have never seen one like this but it looks very effective.

The third shows the Passaic River Bridge. A few weeks ago there was a
discussion of the power supply for this bridge. It looks as though there
were three or even four smokestacks on the head house in the middle of the
bridge. A blowup of one of the other views I will post in my next email,
show a rope and pulley extending out the east side of the bridge. Maybe
that was used to get the coal up to the head house.

Chris Vitz
