The segment between Daretown and Elmer was abandoned in 1950, but this does not pertain to your question. The junction itself was out of service in 1943.
In somewhat of a memory of this junction, a location remains SRNJ timetables and paperwork to this day, noted as "Riddleton Curve", at milepost 20.99.
