Im not familliar with this line so I have a few questions.

Where are some hot spots on this line to see action?

Before Conrail who owned the line and when did Conrail aquire the line?

Where does the line begin and where does it end?

Are there any defect detectors on the trenton line?

What are the mile posts, and controlled points of this line?

1- west trenton train station (septa/csx)

2-reading railroad, aquired 1976 through rail reorganization

3-manville (port reading junction to philadelphia (sorry dont' remember the name of the yard), there also is many other lines which connect in PA.

4-Glenmore (I think its Pennington Borough) and Bellemead

5- CP Trent (crossover from track 2 to track 1), CP Wing (end of track 2), but other then that its pretty much single track up to manville yard (port reading junction), there is also an uncontrolled siding in Montgomery Twp west of Rt 601 but its short.
