Hello all,
I was just recently in New Hope for the first time, and I noticed that the tracks continue along the Delaware north of New Hope. A quick Google Maps visit confirmed this. Where did these tracks go? What railroad were they owned by? I assume that the RDG stopped at New Hope, so could it be Jersey Central?

Thanks!

The ROW north of New Hope is the long ago abandoned Delaware Canal towpath.

To expand on the post above, the towpath was never a rail line.
