Earlier in this thread, I'd mentioned the only electric plane on the Morris Canal, located at Orange St. in Newark.

This unusual "grade crossing" came about after a fatal collision between a DL&W train and a streetcar, in 1902; the DL&W then lowered its ROW to pass under Orange Street, and a new electric inclined plane (the only one on the Morris Canal) was built to haul canal boats over Orange Street, and then, back down again, on the other side.

At this location, an inverted siphon carried the canal water under the plane, the street, and, also the DL&W tracks.

In later years, this location became the site of the only grade crossing on the City Subway line....
