Chris,
How’d you make out with the speeder? Did you ever hear back? The tracks have been lifted.

Double tracked lines, triple tracked line, even quadruple tracked lines. Countless numbers of sidings, run around tracks, yards everywhere, etc., etc. Most of that is all gone. Abandoned rows, and areas that once held tracks now just a few old ties left buried in the ground. Yards torn up and built over. What once was is no more. So you ask WHY anyone would want to save these tracks? Because too much railroad is going the way of the dodo bird, never to be seen again.

Northern NJ used to be a maze of railroad tracks, now it’s just a faded memory of what little is actually left. Very sad indeed...
