Repurposed
Did you know the New York and Greenwood Lake Railway used to serve much of the North Jersey area years ago? Based in Passaic NJ, freight and passenger service would be provided along the now defunct Pompton Line. The line used to branch off the current Montclair Boonton Line in Wayne, intersect the NYSW at Pompton Junction, and continue up to Greenwood Lake and Ringwood NJ. All thats left is some trackage where the Totowa Industrial track is, at Pompton Junction where the NYSW meets the Tilcon quarry, and the rest is just old right of way. Here the equipment is officially moved out of NJ via an NYSW move from PC yard in Saddle Brook to Lackawaxen, PA. Two CSX geeps bring the entire deadline of engines, cars and coaches past the old Erie Railroad station in Port Jervis, NY. Both the station and equipment have now been repurposed, with the station renovated and housing a few local shops for the town center, and the equipment being soon used for the Operation Toy Train organization. There is also word that the turntable and equipment in Port Jervis will be turned into an official museum.
