Photos from the Robert Fischer collection

These photos were sent to me by Robert Fischer and are posted by permission.

I've always enjoyed the memory of this DL&W station at the base of Garrett Mountain, Paterson, New Jersey,
on Marshall Street (Lackawanna Plaza). It was torn down in the early 1970's due to I-80/Route 19 construction,
but was abandoned several years earlier with the re-routing of Boonton Line service via the Erie Greenwood Lake branch.
First two photos - photographer unknown - street view and westbound trackside view.
