In serveral places on the web (sites below) I see reference to a "Harbor Branch" or a "Harbor Branch junction" on the West Jersey and Seashore (part of the PRR), presumably in Cape May. I don't think this is the junction to the Stone Harbor Branch they are referring to.
Where exactly was the junction and what was the Harbor Branch?? Is it the same as the "Real Estate Branch" also known as "Schellenger's Branch"? I doubt it since Hagley's PRR chronology refers to that separately, at least in some sites, but I really don' know.
From the web sites below, I infer that when PRSL was formed, I think the WJS line north of Harbor Br. Junction (in Cape May) was abandoned -- so presumably what was left south of there was tied in the surviving Reading line.
