Today, I finally found an excuse to take a train up the whole 19 zones on the M&E/Boonton to Hackettstown- my aunt who is a carmelite nun and is residing at Villa Maddona was having computer problems and called upon me to fix it. First of all, Port Morris is a great place. Really enjoyed riding through it. They had no engines in the yard (around 3:30), but they did have two strings of cars. One was a mixed NJT train set and the other was a solid MTA C5 set. Anyway, just wanted to say I really enjoyed riding through that.
I tried to see if I could find the cutoff. Can you see it from the tracks? Where does it or would it connect to the M&E?
Also, at Lake Hopatcong, we moved over to the other track (facing towards Hackettstown, it be the left track) to let off and take on passengers. I presume then that only trains terminating at Lake Hopatcong actually let passengers off from the track on the rightside (facing towards Hacketts.)
And I really enjoyed the ride. Lots of fun. I'll do it more often now.
