Content Note

This collection consists of 160 13”x17” B&W low altitude, oblique aerial photographs of routes of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad (DLW) taken by Fairchild Aerial Surveys, Inc. in March and April of 1949. These photographs provide a survey of the railroad’s Morristown Main Line, Montclair Branch, Gladstone Branch and Greenwood Lake-Boonton Line (later called the Boonton Line and finally the Montclair-Boonton Line), which are located in the northeastern part of New Jersey. The Gladstone Branch and Greenwood-Boonton Line were also identified as “P & D Branches” referencing the fact that they were part of the Passaic and Delaware Railroad, which merged with the DLW in 1945. In the 1980s, all of these railroads became part of the New Jersey Transit system.

The views have been disbound, but are arranged as they were originally, following each line’s east to west route. Dates for the images were obtained by consulting the Fairchild Survey Inc./Aerial Negatives and Prints series. Prints in DLW series that do not have corresponding negatives in the Fairchild collection are marked with an asterisk (*).
