I cannot open the first or third attachments which Ecartis "kindly" removed 
from your email, but I could open the second and it clearly shows the BVT 
shops and admin buildings as well as the Sharon Bridge.  Upriver of these is 
Junction Park itself.

Some Junction Park buildings lasted into the 40s;  the ballroom was consumed 
by a fire which, as I recall, was during or right after WW II.  I think it 
was the last one standing.  The BVT buildings, or at least most of them, 
remained more or less intact until a re-route of Pa 88/65 claimed them. 
This would have been late 50s or early 60s.
