One of my friends recently obtained some amazing photos of the streamlined Black Diamond Express taken by a family friend. (Unfortunately I dont have them to post... - maybe later...)
This gentleman lived somewhere between Flemington and Pattenberg, NJ back in the day. He says he took the photos by climbing a signal bridge which was somewhere between those two spots, probably someplace near Stanton Station or Landsdown Jct. There's a wide curve in one of the photos, and the RR was triple track at the location at that time.
So, can anyone place such a signal bridge? Seems logical that it would have been someplace near that location, given the traffic, the wye there, etc.
We were thinking of driving over there to try to match the background terrain, and see if there are any signal footings left.
Thanks for any help!
