I've learned lately that NJ actually has many abandoned/defunct railroads that can only be found with hard research or by looking at rail maps. Some of you may have heard about the Hoboken waterfront railroad (forgot name), the New Jersey West Line (outside of Gladstone branch), and others, but there are a few ROWs I'm curious about.
- Mendham and Chester (diverges from M&E at Morristown and went to Mendham according to map)
- Unknown ROW branching off of NYS&W east of Newfoundland
- NYS&W switchback junction in same area?
- Former bridge over Hackensack River north of M&E bridge
- Possible Rail in Lincoln Park NJ? (When I checked an old map I noticed a straight line from the MB in Lincoln Park that indicated the existence of some sort of rail branch. Checked location on GE and a ROW exists)
