Paul and List,

Stunning is a good term for X4249. I guess that is a Morris County Traction passenger shelter roadside on the right?

But I am having a hard time reconciling the bridges with what I remember. I cannot make out separate bridge abutments in this shot.

Take a look at the attached snap which was taken in 1960 on the eve of the merger.

Thanks, Dan

The other question I have: What in the world kind of caboose is that with the wreck train seen on the leg of the wye???

Both bridges at the right (which cross today's NJ Route 53) are still there, though the trees have grown in quite a bit and the scene is more congested today.
