Dave, To me, it looks like a regular railroad track in bottom right and a small gage to the left. So, I’d say the left trackage is a mine railroad tram...

Dave, Due to the difference in elevation between tracks I'm going to guess the picture was taken near Waterloo station. The open space near buildings could be...

Actually yes, but I consider it inconclusive. The only place along the entire Sussex Branch Line that had a property owner named Struble (Peter Struble) was in...

Dave, Do you know what prompted DL&W to remove the station in '49 and replace it with a shelter. Did you ever find anything in the NJ Herald about the loss of...
