I'd wouldn't be suprised in late October or January when the next timetables are due that the Main/Bergen/Pascack Valley lines are cut to Secaucus only on weekends, with no Hoboken service. Hoboken would then be closed all weekend.

The Ciba-Geigy spur shown in Toms River lasted until 1990. The line is overgrown now.

Weekend shuttles from Harriman are enough. Plus there's ShortLine daily.

There's still Hillburn Yard in Suffern and local industry along the Bergen Line, as well as down to NS Croxton Yard in Secaucus.

Morristown & Erie Railway, Morristown (near NJT station)

Going back, when did Queens Village freight burn down? I studied mid-60s aerials and no freight building at the team track/freight platform area west of the station. If a freight house even existed, it appears to have been there much earlier than that.

Of course, if you want to see farms and stables, Gladstone is your line. That is WEST of Bernardsville only. I don't recall seeing any horse farms or stables east of there. The eastern to middle half of the P&D is surrounded by some residental homes, lots of trees, and mainly swamp land(I guess...

And the Arrows as well, which could be good for another 15-20 years. SEPTA's Silverliner II (a direct ancestor of the Jersey Arrow) was built in 1963 and is now 45, 15 years older than the Arrow III.

Some other thing to note: -Morristown & Erie main lime ending at Essex Fells. Currently ends in Roseland at Interstate 280 (B&G). -Erie Main Line continues west off Bergen Line from Rutherford to Passaic River On Hudson County map , Bergen Line continues south from HX to Bergen Junction alon...

That engineer's seat looks right out of a Mercedes-Benz.

The Morristown Line isn't as scenic as Gladstone, but there are two lakes (Powder Mill Pond and Estling Lake) between Morris Plains and Dover. Between Mount Olive and Hackettstown the line passes through Allamuchy State Park. As for the Raritan Valley, the trip takes a more rural, farm-like feel wes...

The NJ DOT GIS mapping programs probably produces some of the best and most informational maps available. Even so, they often contain errors. The latest edition NJ Railroad map (2007) has various errors, many which been unchanged for quite some time: -The Rahway Valley is shown as active from Summit...

The Tennent freight station in Manalapan on the Conrail Freehold & Jamesburg Railroad still exists, at Main Street (County Route 3).

Belmar no longer stands, but the freight yard siding and platform at Bradley Beach still remains.

I call #59 (Port Jervis Superexpress) "The Clipper" due to the way it speeds or clips through Bergen County.

The red brick house is the one in question.
