Hey guys,
Looking over PRSL interlocking diagrams from 1968, I've noticed that there is noted a freight customer on the Atlantic City Racetrack spur. The customer name is Atlantic Asphalt, and was located on the branch between Hunterdon Ave and Drosera Ave. I'm just wondering, since the line shows on the 1968 interlocking diagram, does that mean that freight trains still utilized a portion of the AC Racetrack spur after 1967, when the racetrack specials ended? I've got two dates here - 1967 for termination of passenger service, and 1974 for a date when they pulled up the tracks. Was this delay due to the freight customer?
Even better - does anyone have a photo of this industry, or a train serving it?
