i dont know if it has been posted here but what are som old routes of the Central of New Jersey. I know of the Queen of the Valley and the Blue Comet but not many others. What were they and what stations did they stop at? I guess the same question can go for all the former rail companies in new jersey.

"Blue Comet" and "Queen of the Valley" were the names of trains, not train lines. Whenever I want to know where a particular rail line goes (or where it went), I usually check out a map. Look what turned up when I typed in "Jersey Central Lines map" into Google image search:

Try that for your other question regarding "all the former rail companies in new jersey." If you're still having difficulty after your search, we'll try to help. If you really want to see all lines in New Jersey past and present, check out the SPV Atlas for the Northeast:
