The Rutgers site has a great little collection of on-line railroad maps at the site listed below.
The 1876 map of New Jersey railroads seems to show that the bridge connection between Millstone and East Millstone was completed. The map was "Prepared from Official data by J.A. Anderson, Sup't. Belv. Div. Penn'a Rail Road," who ought to have known.
Also, I recently found that a book entitled "Track Design for Scale Model Railroading," by Hal Carstens and Bill Schopp (Penn Publications, 1960), included an article entitled "The Mercer & Somerset RR - Ready Track Layout," apparently originally published under the name "The Layout Doctor: Mercer & Somerset Railway" in Railroad Model Craftsman's October 1959 issue. (See second link.) Has anyone seen this article? It looks like the New York Public Library may have it.
