The Orange yard was once a busy operation, with multiple local switchers based there. It's sad to recall all the local industry which has passed from the scene in Bloomfield, East Orange, Orange, Newark, Harrison, etc. DL&W served coal and lumber yards, a brewery, several major electric parts manufacturers, two dairies, a steel fabricator, the Kingsland branch, multiple team tracks, etc. Lots of jobs.

In later years...late 1960's, was office for E-L damage claims and was filled with all types of damaged goods for sale. Was a good source of work with car spotting by P&D Roustabout M-W-F in Orange Yard. rrcaboose |
