I was wondering if anybody had any information on this line's freight traffic after the end of passenger service, I can't seem to find much about this time period, only the mention of service being cut back to IFF in 1972. I'm curious as to what customers remained in this time period as well as traffic levels, frequency, and motive power. Any information is useful thanks, Chris.
There is an interesting old thread here on the branch, though it does not specifically address your question. The topic is Conrail and the Seashore Branch but much more on the branch's history is discussed:
