Thanks for this video, Tom. I'm one of those modelers who goes crazy for infrastructure photos. Presently (Feb 2024) I am designing a WWII era Susquehanna layout.

thanks for a great video ! it was so inspiring to see the area and the trains that this little railroad served. especially to me running the Erie Lackawanna RR in n scale , late 1960 to 1970 s in New Jersey, N Y and Pennsylvania. Having seen photos of freight trains pulled by Susquehanna engines over Erie Lackawanna Starucca viaduct i had to seek more information, and your slideshow was gold ! I subscribed , keep up the good work !

Love the Bergen Evening Record boxcar! The paper had a siding to deliver newsprint to its longtime printing plant on River Street in Hackensack.

An amazing video! I grew up in Maywood, and this brings back allot of memories! FYI, the Lodi spur doesn't cross US 46, it crosses NJ Route 17.
