Can anyone tell me when the railroad tracks were removed from this Railroad in Sayreville, New Jersey- Conrail took over in the 80's but I think the railroad tracks were removed in the 60's or 70's- If you have an exact date please let me know. Thank you.
The tracks are still intact and used in Sayreville Jct.(Parlin) thru the Browns Yard conn.at Gillespie(ex Sunshine Biscuit track).Conrail did major work of the line @1984(?) removing unused sidings and replacing mainline track.
Most of the yards were removed around the time of the merger(shared assets) but the main was left intact up to the Pheonix branch and as far west to North Brunswick area. You can pick up more info and history at RaritanRiver-RR.com.
