Former NY&GL |
| Description: |
The former New York & Greenwood Lake right of way is now devoid of track, the last train operating through here quite a few decades earlier. This view looks north towards Wanaque and Sterling Forest, the line's terminus on the New York State line. The NYS&W still handles some local freight a few miles north of here through Riverdale. |

Constructed in 1904, this is the second station to stand at this location. Having seen its last passenger train in 1966, when all Susquehanna commuter service was abandoned, the beautiful stone structure still sees daily freight service pass by. |

| Description: |
The last coach from the former Morris County Central Railroad still stands on display at the second sight of the operation. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the MCC beginning operations out of Whippany, NJ on the Morristown & Erie Railroad.

MNCW 2021 |
| Description: |
Looking like it just rolled out of the paint shop, this historic New Haven Railroad streamliner is beautifully maintained for display by the staff of the children's hospital at Westchester Medical Center. The unit was donated by Metro North and was trucked here from the railroad yards to live out its retirement as an attractive centerpiece of the hospital grounds. |

NJTR 904 |
| Description: |
On display outside the old train shed of the CNJ Jersey City terminal. This caboose was part of an order by the Erie Lackawanna for ten cabooses to be built by the International Car Company in 1970, this particular car becoming EL C-374. The last cabooses built for the railroad, they would head to the Delaware & Hudson upon the formation of Conrail. C-374 was one of the few the D&H sold to NJ Transit for work train service. Donated to Liberty State Park for display upon retirement, this relic of the rails recalls a time when this bit of urban green space was a sprawling railroad yard, handling hundreds of freight and passengers each and every day. |

Remnants of the Past |
| Description: |
Standing silently along Berckman Street, its grade crossing into a former factory long since removed, is this former CNJ style crossbuck. While the mainline was elevated over street level through this section of Plainfield, behind the camera, many freight customers along the right of way prompted the use of sidings at street level to better serve the industries. Today, there are quite a few industries that call this neighborhood home but the local freight trains of yesterday have mostly vanished from this portion of the former Jersey Central. |

| Description: |
Branchville was once the northern terminus of the DL&W Sussex Branch, originally know as the Sussex Railroad. While the railroad has been abandoned and torn up, much of the right of way still exists as a trail. This view looks south towards Netcong, the one time connection with the DL&W Old Road. |

GMO 2008 |
| Description: |
Nice find of a former GM&O car, now part of a closed restaurant near the abandoned Lehigh & Hudson River Railway mainline. Named Azalea, it was purchased by a railfan from the GM&O in the 1970s and moved to New Jersey. Originally planned to operate on the Black River & Western Railroad, it was later sold to the restaurant along the Pequest River instead, where it remains to this day. |
