Newton's water tank comes down

Landmark Disappears

The 48-year-old water tank at the Lackawanna Railroad station in Newton topples into history as it outlives its usefulness in this day of diesel locomotives. The tank, which was erected in 1905 and supplied water for the steam engines on the railroad until recently displaced by the diesels, was pulled down Tuesday [July 7] by the William F. Lynch salvage company, of Secaucus. Phil Calinzano, of Jersey City, was at the controls of the crane which hooked onto the tank and toppled it to the ground.
