Re: (erielack) DL&W Track markers, Hoboken 1952
I should have been more specific, ca. early 1950s.
What color would the name trains get, say, the Pheobe, Twilight, etc.
Was there any consideration for arriving trains?
I remember that auction -- couldn't afford a single large item.????????????????????????? ....Mike

The timetables refer to the lights reflecting specific routes. Here are a
couple I know:
Two white lights - Bergen County Line
Two yellow lights - NJ&NY (Pascack Valley)
One White and two red lights - Greenwood Lake - Boonton
Back in the late 1980's NJT had a big auction at one of the Hoboken
Festivals and auctioned off all of the track markers. I have never seen one
since. Does anyone know where any of them ended up?
