hello all... realized something traveling south along river road south of raven rock the other day...& was hoping someone here could confirm. for a long time now...riding my bike up & down the D&R canal trail between titusville & lambertville...& coming across those arc shaped t...

hello again...

I had heard that a huge museum "complex" (if you will) is underway, in Phillipsburg, NJ...the main focus of which will be NJ's RRs. Does anyone have any news on this...whether or not it's completed or how soon ???

Thanks,


MM

thanks tracker & wolfboy...

good info.


Mark

sorry for the side thread...but... John Warrick made three or four documentaries in the late 80's on historic nj railways. I've watched the ones he made on the CRRofNJ's Southern Division & the PRR's Atlantic Division...&...they are actually quite good...w/ the author being very knowledgeabl...

CarterB...

contacted the museum in pennsy (as I have not heard back from the Smithsonian).


Chris...

are you affiliated w/ the PC RR at Allaire ?


Mr. Ed...

not sure. you're right, tho...left there in that condition too long cannot bring about any good scenarios

Russ ...(& anyone)... [yes...there are in fact too many ways to contact you (just kiddin')] 1) On OpenStreets...if you find Chatsworth, NJ...there's a dotted line running through it bearing WSW...which very much looks to be the exact line of the NJSouthern. Yesterday, I turned off 563 S of Chat...

holy crapioli... logged back in & found all this...thanks all. Andrew has it right, Carter ...on maps.live. thanks, Andrew. thanks for the other Hightstown info. the freight station on north main is actually where the C&A historical group meet. also, went right by Rodgers & RR the other...

hello again... after 4 days of zig-zagging the old Camden & Amboy RR line (now Norfolk Southern RR)...I finally found the original railway section, laid on stone sleeepers...located at the old Anheuser-Busch plant in Old Bridge. It was on display there, seemingly for decades...& was even ex...

CarterB... Great link/site...but it won't zoom for me. YES...I took a slew of digital shots...(which I'll post soon)...but all of the western (curved) wye...not the eastern straightaway wye. I'm going back to find that eastern leg...w/ my new eTrex Legend GPS & the camera...[but...1st...I reall...

folks... I realize this is an old thread...but (at least for CarterB), I found the section south of Pemberton-Browns Mills Rd., where it runs through Fenwick's Glen...the trestle remnants at the Rancocas (also mentioned in Beck's 2nd book)...& the grade/ROW of the Western wye curving toward New...

Ken... Thanks much. Are you familiar w/ such units...from a technical perspective ? If so...I'm wondering how precise they are...based on cost differences. For example, a Magellan Triton 200 is $129. It has the WAAS system you spoke of, which is accuracy to 3 meters. A Garmin eTrex legend H is $149...

Hello again... [not sure if this is the correct forum, but...)... In hiking local abandoned RR lines (e.g., Delaware & Atlantic RR, Pemberton & Hightstown RR, Tuckerton RR, etc.)...I would like to pinpoint the exact location of the railbed ROW, so as to then be able to transfer that GPS dat...

Ed & Chris... Thanks. Yeah...I returned the following day & hiked for 3 miles eastbound of the tunnel...& Google has the railbed location incorrectly placed on that side as well, for approximately 2 miles. For some reason, their displayed track-line pulls off the actual line about 2-1/2...

[now...there's a name structure I could never figure out...as the rail head found itself located at Kinkora Station...& so I always wondered why the town of Columbus was listed first in the name.] Anyway...hello all, Took a hike yesterday on the (hopefully soon to open) Kinkora Station section o...
