The old-growth forest is within the Rutgers Ecological Preserve on Livingston Campus.
While I agree this would be feasible in theory, in real life this would probably never even be an after thought. Between building a completely new line in Hillsborough and Millstone, reconstructing a bridge at East Millstone that hasn't existed since the Mercer & Somerset (and it apparently might not have even been originally completed), "reclaiming" the ROW through Franklin from both the environment and encroachment, along with probably a litany of other issues - just to avoid congestion in the Bound Brook and Manville area - makes this completely unrealistic.
