I was told that the M&E sold off the ROW from about Route 280 east to Harrison Ave to the town of Roseland for a hiking trail...........any brush clearing was probably done by the town workers? They should have never sold off the ROW....gone forever now.

The line started in Great Notch and connected with the Morristown & Erie in Essex Fells.....
I think the M&E had a chance to but the line (between Essex Fells & GN) from the E-L or Conrail for a cheap price..........sad that they Fluffed Off the opportunity!
