If you look at Freedom Park in Fort Lee on Gogle Earth, it resembles a ROW of some sort.The ROW is almost traceable up to the GWB lower level toll plaza on the north. Head south towards Cliffside Park and there is a Railroad Avenue along the ROW. The ROW is still pretty obvious up to the Palisade Avenue/Gorge Road junction (occupied by Cliffside Park Housing Authority building). I'm guessing this railroad ran along Palisades Avenue, if you go south to the park you'll notice something that resembles a wye junction. After here the main probably ran west then curved south on what is now Main Drive. There seems to have been another wye junction with Riverview Drive. If you head west from here, you run into 79th street. Some rail may have ran through here because it is a rather wide street, complete with some medians. Where the rail went west of here is unclear. I'm not sure about the other spurs I mentioned here but JFK Blvd East may be the ROW for another railroad.
Also here's another bonus rail thing:
A trolley line ran through the South Fort Lee area as well. It probably branched off of Broad Avenue and went along present-day Route 5. The ROW is pretty clear if you look on Grantwood Blvd, which sits on the former trolley line. From here the Route 5 cuts through the ROW, and a clearing is visible running west along Route 5. Notice how the Route 63 bridge has a big opening underneath it. From here the ROW is taken up by Columbia Avenue, and it's all pretty clear. The townhouses along Kensington Drive take up a portion of the ROW before it goes back to Columbia Avenue heading down the hill. The ROW is then taken up by Undercliff Avenue, and right along Panorama Drive is probably where the old station was. There may have also been a funicular railway of some sort from Undercliff Ave to Kensington Drive.
I apologize for asking all of these questions lately, but where did the Edgewater/Fort Lee railroad run to?
