Here’s a classic station on a traditional branch line. Back in the early 1980s, my father and I photographed the old Lackawanna Edison cars on the Gladstone Branch. I was just a kid and those cars seemed like rolling antiques from another era.

I made this modern view a couple of weeks ago.

Here’s a scary comparison: these NJ Transit Arrows are nearly as old today as those Edison cars were back then.
