The NJ DOT GIS mapping programs probably produces some of the best and most informational maps available. Even so, they often contain errors. The latest edition NJ Railroad map (2007) has various errors, many which been unchanged for quite some time:
-The Rahway Valley is shown as active from Summit to Roselle Park.
-Conrail Freehold Secondary beween Freehold and Farmingdale active
-Wharton & Northern (CNJ) active north from Chester/Lake Junction to Picatinny
-NYSW Pompton Branch (ex-Erie Greenwood Lake) still active from Pompton Junction to Wayne. No service here since 1988.
-CNJ still runs into downtown Newark! (more detail on Essex County map)
-LV spur into Flemington active
-Black River & Western active to Lambertville (out of service since 1998)
-Morristown & Erie spur to Channel Lumber in Whippany off NJ Route 10 (shown) was abandoned by 1991
-NJT (Erie) Boonton active through Kearny and over DB Draw
On the NJ DOT's official Essex County map, the old NJT/Erie Boonton line is completely missing from the Montclair connection to WR Draw...
That's only a sampler.

Since my friend continues to chain smoke nonstop, she is probably an Alco.
