Are there any visible remains of the Greenwood Lake Div north of Pompton Junction? I would especially be interested in the ROW north of Wanaque. I know much of this ROW was obliterated by new buildings (around Wanaque) and the resevoirs, and the ROW cannot be accessed. However, are there any spots that today can be explored legally? What about the branch to Ringwood? Thanks.

There are rumors Awosting still stands, but for a train station that hasn't seen a train since 1935, I doubt it. No stations north of Pompton-Riverdale stand.
There are pretty good right-of-way between Pompton Jct and Wanaque Elementary, which is about where the Wanaque-Midvale Station was. North of Wanaque, to some degree there are spots.
