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!

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