| Wedged between the mainline and the side track, in the
rear of the Kenilworth Yard , was
located the Rahway Valley Railroad's diesel fuel tank and pump
house. Constructed to facilitate the arrival of the diesel era, the
tank and pump house were used for decade to pump gallon after gallon
of fuel into the busy 70-tonners #16 and 17.
