Just three years ago the museums DERAIL sign was stolen from the WRyM collection....To any of our new members here on railroad.net Please let us know if you should see this exhibit.....

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.

Just wanted to refresh our memories....almost 12 months since the sign was stolen from our museum site....please keep a eye open!!

During the last few days our yellow and black DERAIL sign was stolen from our museum site. The sign was mounted on a wooden 4X4 post, removed by pulling the sign and post from the ground.

It looks like the west portal ROW runs UNDER a portion of the Fairview Cemetery? difficult to tell with Google image.....and the impressive three story vent shaft in your back yard!

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!
