Looking at google maps just to the north west of the NJT Edison station, by Kilmer Rd and the post office, there is a few isolated tracks. On satelite they was a network of spurs going into all these warehouses. Looks like they were recently cut from the NJT main. Anyone know who owns these and why they are all dead? Seems like it was an extensive spur network. All the warehouses have boxcar sidings.
Upon further research it looks like these tracks were originally the line to Camp Kilmer but when that was closed sort of transformed into a spur network for the new warehouses that took over the old camp kilmer grounds.
Anyone know when/why they were abandoned? Once they are ripped up the RR can never serve those warehouses again. In the 1979 arials there are box cars all over the buildings.
