Switching at Morristown

I'm looking for information on operating patterns of the Lackawanna/early EL for switching actitivites in Morristown in the late 1950's early 60's. I assume (perhaps incorrectly) that all/most freight activity was on the late overnight. At that time the Lackawanna freight house and associated trackage off the run-around/Morristown MU Yard lead was in and active on off the eastbound main while REA, one or two coal customers and the M&E interchange came off the westbound main with a single direction cross-over close but not the same as the present one.

I'm intersted in how the crew(s) did their work as I intend to model the Morristown & Erie including the interchange and Lackawanna in Morristown. It's not happenign immediately but all information (including typical power) is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

There were actually two drills (local freights in DL&W parlance) which worked Morristown. Monday-Saturday there was the Dover Drill which had rights as far east as Summit but rarely went further than Chatham. It worked east from Port Morris to Denville, turned on the wye, switched the box factory then "backed" east to work G. Washington Coffee in Morris Plains, maybe take a load of coal up to Graystone Pk, then switch the Morristown Freight House and Yard before heading to Madison and/or Chatham. After crossing over there would be a switch at Chatham yard, Morristown and Erie set out and pick up if warrented, the Mennen switch at Morris Plains, there was a lumber yard and brick yard there, too, on the westbound side. From there they would hightail it back to Dover, hopefully ahead of the evening rush.

The second job to work Morristown was the overnight Summit Drill which sometimes had rights to East Orange and Gladstone (depending upon the operating procedures of a given manager and trainmaster). It did some Morristown work as needed but mainly Chatham east with a pick up or set out for M&E and whatever else was needed and went back to Dover and Port Morris ahead of the morning rush but behind the overnight freights out of Hoboken.

As near as I can remember.
