Does anyone know if there is any plans for the BRW guys & Mike's cutter to go down the South end of the Railroad ?Last revenue train to L'Ville was in late December 1998. It was powered by CNJ 1523. So, it has been just shy of 11 years since the last train ran down there.

There have been a couple of other runs down there, mostly to relocate URHS equipment to Ringoes, but that's it.
60 would have last ran down there in 1995, I would guess, as it was taken out of service after that season. By the time it returned in October 1998, service to Lambertville was all but dead.

David wrote:No the tracks end at Rt29. The crossing was removed around the same time as the tracks inside the quarry. The crossing on the Ringoes-Lambertille line for Rt29 is still there.wolfboy8171981 wrote:Do they still cross rt29?David wrote:Does the track still go into the quarry?The tracks end at Rt29.
