Cliffwood - Keyport

Hmm. I will take a look at it this evening.

Here are the maps I found. Still looking at the "Trail of the Blue Comet" for additional information.

The latest editions of SPV have shown all the interurbans featuring in "Hilton & Due", and since the Perth Amboy to Long Beach system is mentioned it will probably be drawn in.

SPV's "Northeast" is likely to be out of print soon, and the new edition out sometime next year. There's a LOT of historical stuff to be added.

Is there some way to be notified when the new one will be available?

Thanks

Please don't *delete* the line as shown. It's nice to know what existed and hence the reason why I purchased this Map.

I see that your website says the second edition is out for the Northeast. Do you mean a third is on its way?

Notice that this dotted line bypasses Cliffwood! The map doesn't show the short branch to the pier near Keyport, or the wye onto the Port Monmouth pier. More fine print, anyone?

Feel free to use anything on my New York State Railroad Routes that you don't already have listed. All I ask for is credit.

Russ,

Thanks!!!

I'm from Keyport and I still live there now. There used to be a trolley service in downtown Keyport that ran along Front St. I've seen pictures and read information in history books on Keyport. Beyond Keyport, I'm not sure where the tracks would have gone.

From what I understand, trolley service in Keyport was removed long before the CNJ line was abandoned in the 60's. Does anyone know where the Keyport stations exact location was?
