I think this was in South Orange, NJ. judging from the street names on the photo. I just got this at a flea market. View full size.
This is Mountain Station on the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western RR's Morris and Essex Division. The original Mountain depot is the Mansard-roofed structure on the left, past the road crossing.
This station dates back to the 1860's, at least, and survived into the early 20th century, when track improvements required its removal.
The small shanty on the left was the post of the crossing watchman, who manually lowered the crossing gates, of which there were MANY on the M&E's trek westward.
