Index>Station Info>Augusta
Augusta, New Jersey
MP 67.8 (DL&W) 19.3 (SRR)
Telegraph Call: AU
Depot: 16' x 38'
Augusta station was built at the Sussex Branch crossing of the Lehigh & New England. There was an interchange, but little freight interchanged. The original station was little more than a rude shack, but when the Pennsylvania, Poughkeepsie & Boston (a predecessor to the Lehigh & New England) came through in 1890 they built a two story station, 16 x 38 foot. This station was abandoned in 1939 and was removed about 1945-46. The Agent-operator was discontinued around 1936.
Photos:
- Here is a picture of the station and creamery complex taken from the hillside. (close up of the station/creamery area.)
- And from the other side, showing form left to right, the powder milk plant, creamery and station.
- Here is a west looking shot from R.L.Johnson. EL engine #1240 rumbles across the abandoned crossing with the Lehigh & New England in June of 1965.
From 1967:
- This view is looking east across what once was the diamond with the Lehigh & New England Railroad. The building on the right, (I believe) was a telephone shack having to do with the signal system on the LNE.
