Having just returned last week from a S. Jersey family visit via rail I actually wanted to see the possible feasibility of this connection. I took the R-3 Septa to W Trenton and then a cab ride to Trenton Station. I know just before W Trenton this R-3 line passes over an abandoned line tuned railtrail. I had biked this before and this trail heads toward Trenton's Capitol building area which is supposedly only 3 miles from that point. We maybe came within a mile or so and then turned around because we came to a very "seedy" area. I know the river line is supposed to extend to this capitol area and I was wondering if this abandoned railtrail could be linked from downtown through the "seedy area" and turn up to the West Trenton Station.
Where exactly did this abandoned line end up in Trenton? Did it link to the NEC? If so, Where? I do plan to finish the ride one day and maybe see. This line parallels Rt 29 also. A connection would be great. The cab was pretty cheap considering and downtown Trenton Station is seemingly close to W. Trenton Station
