Too bad Sussex County couldn;t foresee the need for that branch line today. What was once country and diaries is now suburbia but without the highway. NJ 15 is so crowded now. I know people in Newton miss having the train.

So the Erie and and DLW merged in 1960 . . . a desperate attempt by two way-past-their time rail carriers that were sieving money to stay relevant. Branch lines like these with very little traffic (note the truck traffic in the video) were one of the reasons.

Now I hike on the Sussex Branch trail. Thank you for taking the movie and sharing it on KZbin.

I've been recovering the site. I'm doing it on my own, knowing that it may end up just a thing on my own hard drive. I've completely written new code for modern web presentation. I have both books but I feel the archive portion (at least) should be restored. The newspaper articles are important. I've actually been spending the time to type out articles from the New York Times and The Iron Era (from Dover) to add to the archive. I got a great one from the NYT covering exactly when Continental Drive was opened to the public. I've also got mentions of some Sussex engineers McPeek and George Ply, who apparently resigned after a collision on the Sussex in 1905.

If you mean the newspaper clippings archive, it is still there at: sussexbrancharchives.tripod.com

@@NJEsperantist Thank you, I've found that. It's been a labor of love for the site which I lost track of around 2004. All I could remember was 1) a photo or a mention of the RXR sign that used to be on Mudcut, and 2) the words "bones" and "battery boxes". I've recovered the memories section of Guy Puffer, Peter Pearson, and Harold N. Coriell.

I still have the DLW-SussexBranch website on my hard drive. It may not be 100% up to date to when I took it down, but then, I hadn't updated it much, if at all while I researched my book. If you want something in particular from the site, I could get the text of it to you, directly or indirectly.

Hi Dave, I have a question. What is the road (long abandoned, but paved) with the bridge over the Musconetcong that runs alongside Continental Drive? Actually two questions... I read somewhere that this area along Waterloo Road was called New Andover. Did I get that correct? Edit: I found the answers. That road is Kays road, and New Andover was tucked in there.

Sorry I took so long, but I got the same answers. I had to locate my Morris county map pre-dating the construction of Continental Dr.

@@NJEsperantist Thank you! I just found an 1860 map on Library of Congress, and it shows "Andover Forge" on that New Andover location... Very interesting.

Hey Dave, I’m very curious to know where this stretch is. Can you point out the names of the roads and the town the train is passing through also if that’s a “cutoff” tunnel it’s going through. Thanks !

@NJEsperantist Жыл бұрын

This is a stretch of the Sussex Branch between Stanhope, NJ and Andover (JUnction), NJ. The train is traveling timetable west. The first crossing seen is of Kay's road, which is approximately where International Drive in Mount Olive is today. The second crossing seen is Waterloo Rd. Then there is a rock cut just south of Cranberry Lake, and the tunnel under the Lackawanna Cut-off.

@@NJEsperantist Just a follow up question: Is Continental Drive by Waterloo Rd the old alignment ? The video seems to show that it is because it goes straight into the entrance of the trail on Waterloo Rd but Google maps shows a different path paralleling Continental drive and you can see what appears to be a bridge over the river in the woods. Any light you can shed on this is appreciated.

@NJEsperantist Жыл бұрын

@Harrison2253 Most of it follows the railroad bed alignment. The part nearest International Dr. got jogged over to meet the existing road on the opposite side of the intersection.

Nice stuff! I think the reason for not letting the head spin around 360, is the string will twist too much. I can just imagine our kids spinning it round too much one way within the first day. Probably need to build one for each twin too. :-)
