Thanks to Al McCormick for correctly reorienting me - I didn't even notice the shelterhouse in the trees to the right of the house!

So we are looking RR west, but we are on the NORTH side of the tracks on Division Street (not Myrtle Avenue). In the trees to the
right of the house can see the Boonton station shelter house (aka westbound station building). To the left of the house you can see
the eastbound (main station) platform canopy, as well as the fences on either side of the tracks - I forgot how the tracks were
below the Division St. side, which is why those main tracks are "invisible" here - they're just a couple more feet below the edge of
the embankment. D'oh!

That being said, all the structures at the left and left distance are all located on the south (Myrtle Ave.) side of the tracks.

This house is gone today, replaced by what originally was a Scerbo (I should have realized that!) Auto Body shop, but today is
another auto body shop.

Looking through Pat's previous postings, I've attached photo X2589. This shot is taken 5 years earlier, and is at the same location
looking in the same general westerly direction, but from the track rather than Division Street. You can see the same house (in
better condition!) at the right.
