Rahway Valley freight station (abandoned) at Summit, NJ - 2/1972. Originally the passenger station, the depot was built in 1906 with a long, covered platform on one side. With the end of passenger service in June, 1919, the covered platform was removed and the freight house joined to the former passenger depot for use as a combined freight office. Placed out of service in 1948 and in private use on site. Eventually razed c. 1974-75. Archive: Dave Keller

This is a LDE (Layout Design Elements) for the RVRR Summit Station area. It provides a basis to model an area and incorporate the main features of interest. These can be standalone or connected to other LDEs as space, time and cost dictate. Each shelf element would be approx. 30" deep by 96" in length
