"Ice Cream Box at Cranberry"
New Jersey Transit F40PH-2CAT #4119 leads Pascack Valley Line train 1631 past the former Fairmount Avenue Station, now Cranberry Junction Cafe, in Hackensack, New Jersey on a windy Christmas Eve night. Fairmount Avenue Station was built 1870 as part of the extension for the Hackensack and New York Railroad. It was taken over by the Erie Railroad 1890s and New Jersey Transit in 1980. By 1982, the station was closed due to it's close proximity to the more favorable Anderson Street Station. The station house still stands as the Cranberry Junction Cafe.
Photos of the Pascack Valley Line. This railroad was built as the New Jersey and New York RR, falling under the control of Erie, Erie Lackawanna, Conrail and NJDOT before present passenger operator New Jersey Transit and freight carrier Norfolk Southern.
A continuously growing album of photos that IMHO reveal the awesome and seldom-seen beauty of the railroad world from the dimming of day to dawn's early light! From dusk to dawn, trains roll on! (I'm still finding gems of sunset-to-sunrise surprises!)
