Just poking around live maps today. The CNJ HB branch east leg of the wye is still in place. Disconnected from the main but about 500' of the wye is there in the woods.
Also there was a spur that left the wye, went thru a parking lot northeastward, over main street, literally 2' from a house, across a trestle past the baseball field northward to serve some type of small factory. Past the river the spur switched backwards into the factory there must have been 8 tracks in there. The trestle is gone over the residential streets but the small bridge over the river is still there but what's really amazing is there are several spurs still in place. You can see them in the pavement.
In fact just before the small bridge over the river another spur branched off south, then switchbacked into a small building. That track is still there in the pavement too!
Anyone know when all this went inactive? The 1988 arials show all the track in place. HB must have been a busy rr town at one time. The factory is still there but looks abandoned.
