... The sizable section is the covered platform. The ticket office was on the east end of the platform (geographic south). ... Presuming you meant Netcong...
Okay, the covered platform explains the large aerial appearance of the Cranberry Lake depot. The actual station/ticket office was not really that large then. ...
