> Hello:

        I have been enjoying hearing this talk of the Rockaway Loop.
The Ketcham Switch is something I need some clarification on.  This is
the first I have heard of this piece of trackage and would like to know
more about it.  Are there any traces of the connection from the point a
mile east of the RT 80 crossing of the boonton line, with the Rockaway
Loop?  Any ideas where the name "Ketcham" came from with regards to that
switch.  I went to school with a person with that last name from
Denville and am just wondering if there was any connection.  Thanks in
advance.
