Looking south toward Old Auberry down the S.J.&E. R.R.. Edison
operated a large maintenance and storage facility at New Auberry,
which was the reason for the town's existence. Regular train engines
could run on the railroad's bottom section but only geared engines
ran above New Auberry. A turntable was constructed at the site to
help change engines. The picture shows sections of pen stock and
curved fittings for the pipes carrying water to the powerhouses
stored awaiting loading.
circa 1918
