I would expect that the ex-CNJ branch that went south from that bridge was the connection for the military RR.

Thanks for the info. DVD it is, when it arrives.

I suppsoe that depends on how easy it is to get the permit and how long it is valid. NJT rules essentially only restrict photography to the extent that it interferes with passenger flow. That seems to be a reasonable compromise.

>>>There is a connection at Bound Brook, though that is a very low speed <<< That's not what would be used. The former Reading connection west of Bound Brook next to the solid waste transfer facility and along the PSE&G electric transmission line ROW would be restored. That was a high speed (rel...

For long distance trains, an inspection line of sorts might be feasible. For commuter trains, it is impractical. Most NJT commuter stations, for instance are unfenced, unmanned, and passengers loaded along a long platform. At a minimum it would add a lot of time to the trip, and would require hiring...

>>for a paper producer<<<

The paper mill in Milford, NJ on the Bel Del (operated by BR&W RR now) is vacant and looking for a buyer. Unless they need to be further east, that could be ideal.

I believe that NJ had purchased the entire NJ portion of the CNJ mainline, but am not certain. As to the encroachments, that should not be an obstacle as under NJ law, no one can take owenership by adbverse possession against a railroad or government-owned land.

Plus the hundred feet or so of track, including curves, embedded in the Belgian block pavement just north of Hoboken terminal.

Isn't there one in operating condition for sale? In Canada? Maybe someone will purchase it for operation?

I wonder if it will be available in DVD format? I no longer have a VCR.

Seems to be enough interest to keep them separate.

It could also attract some passengers from the overcrowded NEC (and the full parking lots). Better balance the system.

Sure would be nice. I rode the line only once, not too long before the RDCs ended. Newark to Reading Terminal and took Amtrak back, with a full diner with steak dinner, when they still had wood/charcoal stoves.

To answer the specific question, there are no active freight customers between the Aldene connection and Elizabeth. There is one customer right opposite the Aldene ramp, but noe east of that.
