Location of depot in Ulysses is easy to find as is r-o-w of C&PA coming into Ulysses from the southeast. When you visit Ulysses go to the diner. The owner has great photos of railroad scenes on the walls. The NYC depot still stands in Harrison Valley. Also Elkland and, I think, Westfield. Location of B&S/NYC crossing in Cowanesque is behind an old garage. From Lawrenceville west to Ulysses the r-o-w is easy to follow. C&PA from Ulysses to Newfield Junction, on the other hand, is not easy to follow as it runs southeast out of Ulysses and makes a broad swing before heading west. I have a postcard view of the NYC depot in Ulysses. The C&PA had its own depot there. Great country - highly recommended!
