Hello,

Does anyone have track maps of the Erie Graham Line and/or the Erie Montgomery Branch showing what the trackage for these routes looked like circa late 1920s to early 1940s? If so, I am wondering would you be willing to share a copy of the maps. I am particularly looking for information about the layout of the Erie trackage that use to exist in and around Campbell Hall area. I am in need of this information for a modeling project.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
Walter Conklin

Sorry Peter- the Graham Line ain't there- it wasn't built until the 1904-1909 timeframe. And, it made for major changes in the trackage around Campbell Hall.

USGS Topo maps from the period would show the trackage in detail; unfortunately everything I've seen online are 15' maps- the detail is on the 7.5' maps. CH would be on the Goshen quadrangle, from pre-1957. I might have one around here, but stored away.

Marty, your so right. For some reason I didn't see the Word Graham, and thought it was the Erie Branch to Campbell Hall [L&HR).

You're not having a good day- :-)

It was the L&NE on the Erie to CH; the L&HR entered Maybrook on its own ROW, to the east. (It was the only connecting road to do so.)

Ugh, I'm having L&HR on the brain since I made a trip to the Goshen Library today and found a few letters from the L&HR about a switch and trestle in Hamburg NJ.
