The Erie Lackawanna still had freight business on the NJ&NY RR in Park Ridge NJ. when taken over by Conrail in April of 1976. Brand new St. Lawrence RR box car, built 06-1978, sits on the siding waiting to be unloaded with the Burroughs Corporation office and factory in the background. View is looking from across Broadway with Park Avenue off to the right. Burroughs, Bratt & Doxey Building & Supply, Quackenbush Lumber, Bradford's Feed and Supply, and Lavengeld Bulb (in Montvale) were some of the railroad's customers. Coal was also delivered in town but I am not sure if Bradford's was the customer. The freight station in town also received products for local delivery by rail that were then delivered by REA (Railroad Express Delivery) trucks. Norfolk Southern Railway currently serves a Kuiken Brothers Lumber in Emerson NJ with no other freight business up the line. Howard Kent Jr. 07-1978.
