Old Main Line mileage

  by pdman
 
I am compiling a log listing of all my unduplicated rail mileage travels. One problem is with the DL&W's old main line.

All the mileage listings I can find are easy: HOB - Denville (Boonton Line), HOB-Denville (M&E). On the mainline, the miles are all available via the cut-off.

But, going on the Old Main Line from where it cuts off from the new main through Washington to Slateford Jct can't be found. Anyone know this distance?

Taber's book lists Slateford Jct. as 74.3 miles via the cutoff, vs. 84.6 miles via the Old Road.
