Does anyone have good mapping of the NYC RR in the area of Remsen, Prospect-Poland ? Or can explain the following ...
What I am trying to figure is the alignment at Prospect Jct and what constituted the "tail" at the Eastern Rock quarry. Was this off the main of the Remsen-Herkimer line or part of the Hinckley Branch. The alignment does not look direct as I think the main crossed over the north end of the Trenton Falls and if the tracks extended directly east from the quarry area they would be too far to the north.
I simply can't figure where the actual junction was;
a. of the quarry spur
b. of the Remsen-Herkimer main track with the Hinckley Branch
or at least I don't want to assume I know for sure.
What information or photos does anyone have of the Trenton Falls Station ?
