The LH&R between Sparta and NJ/NY state line is now owned by NYS&W. North of the state line is owned by NS.

Those were the good ol' days of railroading, back when railroads were railroads.

@notalott wellll...... you never know

What was the purpose of the CNJ and PC leaving their caboose on a train?

This film was put out by Clear Block Productions in 1996.

@MilwaukeeSDman That would have allowed competition, PC was not interested in that. Plus, no way in hell could the L&HR at that time been able to afford such a purchase..

@notalott You are correct! It was a great route around the North East Corridor in case of a emergency. At one time there was thru passenger service over it via the PRR-LHR-NH Washington-Boston. One of the trains was called the "Federal Express" But when the highway,oil, and airlines control the government you lose your rail beds.
Looks like a fast Railroad,sorry that their is a such a thing as trucks.

Yes, the bridge burned, but the company was broke and it was doubtful if they could've remotely afforded rebuilding it.
