1002 viewsFrom Robert Hector: This was a station the Erie Railroad's New York & Greenwood Lake branch. Off to the lower-left of the picture was the Orange branch which crossed my street in East Orange and ended near Main St at the Orange-West Orange border. To the upper-left of the photo, was the Greenwood main branch, which went through Montclair, Great Notch, and ended at Wanaque. To the right was the line back to the Erie Terminal Jersey City (demolished in the sixties). Passenger service on the Orange branch ended in 1955 with only freight service into late eighties or early nineties. Part of this line is now used by the current Newark Light Rail System.

Fairview1000 viewsThomas (Donato) Parrillo's excursion boat, the Fairview. His brother, Capt. Benjamin S. Parrillo, was at the helm. In the 1950's my great Uncle Benny served as a captain on the Staten Island Ferry. He owned and operated the Fairview in partnership with his brothers Carmen, Anthony and Donato Thomas Parillo (my grandfather). The Fairview's home port was Port Newark, and it made daily excursions from Newark to Asbury Park, making stops along the way at various towns along the coast, including Elizabeth, Keansburg and many others. It also made excursions northward to West Point. It was very popular, and many people used the boat to travel from town to town along its route, for example, boarding at Elizabeth and getting off at Newark.
