Were cars floated between the Port Richmond, Camden, Bulson St. area and the Wilmington, Deepwater area?
How was the float bridge near Gibbstown, N.J. served?

I've got a copy of an old map from about '33 or so entitled "proposed lease of WJ&S RR by AC RR Co." Does your map show the proposed connections to preserve business while abandoning most superfluous trakage? ConRail had a copy and I remember much of it. Brown Tower, Atco, Hammonton, ...

That makes me wonder....would anything be left of any rail - related things down that way? I think I saw the READING's Strathmere station 7/3/2005, abandoned about 1924. The Atlantic City Railroad book has a photo of it as a lean-to, and one of the taverns near the bay has a shed of the same outlin...

I remember the wye in 1969, already diconnected from the P-RSL. Employee Timetables 8 and 10 of 4/28/63 and 4/25/65 require that the "Wye" track crossing Center St. at Haddonfield be flagged. This was probably the "tail" of the wye. N.J. Rte. 70 in Burlington County is mostly on ...

Was one built near the end of service, after the Stone Harbor Railroad's draw bridge was out of service, and the terminal isolated from the mai...

Gary Pfeifer, a Penn Central and ConRail official (also a vice-President of the Phila. area trolley museum) described this about 1980, and his tale seems to match my memory of a trip to Cape May in late 1968. PRSL (and New Haven) RDCs were considered as Diesel locomotives having less than 89,000 lbs...
