Kenilworth Yards The Early Years: 1890's to the 1920's

This photograph, dated 1902, shows the New Orange Station, the runaround track is slightly out of view behind the photographer. The New Orange Station sat on the eastern edge of New Orange in a rural setting. The center of town was further to the east. NOFJ #3 pulls into New Orange Station, the runaround track is seen to the right of the train. Note the original wooden walkways. Collection of Don Maxton.   This 1906 map shows that the original track configuration at Kenilworth/New Orange was just a simple runaround. The construction of the station building took a small portion of the right of way of Galloping Hill Road. The construction of the Boulevard prompted a removal of this portion of Galloping Hill Road behind the station, which later became Beth-David Cemetery. This image, cropped from this one, shows the New Orange Station with a steam locomotive tied down on the runaround track which leads to the belief that NY&NO, as well as NOFJ, motive power was possibly stored on the runaround track here. For many years the railroad lacked any repair facilities. Collection of Don Maxton. Kenilworth Station, showing the southern trailing end of the runaround. Courtesy of Dr. Walter Boright. After New Orange was renamed Kenilworth in 1907, the name on the station was also adjusted. Collection of Scott Schnipper. A family poses with #7 at the Kenilworth Station. If the train is any longer than one car it is surely blocking the Boulevard! Note the runaround track in the foreground. Collection of Don Maxton. #10 at Kenilworth Station. Circa 1920's. Note the farmhouse in the background. This farmhouse sat on Galloping Hill Road and appears in several early photographs of the station area. Collection of Thomas T. Taber, III.
