Have you ever noticed that if you look at the BING street map of the Marion Junction area in Jersey City, NJ, you will still see the old connector from the P&H Westbound to the runner that leads up towards Croxton yard, and eventually into the CSX River Line.
This track was removed shortly after the new connection to the P&H Eastbound was built.
If you look at the Aerial map, you will of course see the new connector, not the old.
It is my understanding that all of the commercially available maps use the USGS survey maps for much of their data, so the problem would be the USGS are not updated often enough.
Because of this, I have come to rely mainly on the Aerial maps, using the street maps only to get into a general area more quickly.
I guess what I really need is a good railroad map that also has the street overlay.
Another note: Not Conrail, but NYS&W. Same problem with the maps. It's hard to find a street level map that even shows the NYS&W through Passaic and Sussex county, NJ.
