yep, just to the point where it joins the speed line
PB: Keep in mind that the PATCO High Speed Line goes through a deep undergrade
cut in Haddonfield - I decided to reply being surprised that WP did not mention this...
The NJT track is built lower than the PATCO tracks were - the logical place to build a
new station would be at Woodcrest - which could be a single high platform on the N/W
side opposite from the PATCO island platforms. At this point it probably makes sense
to continue the run to Lindenwold - which is 2.6 miles away...
From what I remember reading about the PATCO construction the deep cut through
Haddonfield was an answer to mid/late 60s NIMBY opposition to an aerial structure
or keeping the tracks at or close to grade. This was the most expensive segment of
the stretch of line built on the former PRSL ROW to create PATCO...MACTRAXX
