| Hello all,
|   I know some list members have posted reviews of good local EL Rail 
Trail's the traveled here in NJ recently. Can anyone e-mail me information 
on some other good rides in NY, PA & NJ? If it's intresting list content I 
am sure people would not mind replies posted here! Other's just send direct.
|  I just completed the CNJ / LV Lehigh Gorge from Woodport to Mauch Chunk 
Pa. and I highly recomend it! (Two EL G/M/Y caboose's are on display in Jim 
Thorpe... whew, list content). And the former PRR Bel-Del from Lambertville 
to Frenchtown (PRR operated passenger service along this line to Stroudsburg 
Pa.over the DL&W... woohoo list content again!!). I am planning on exploring 
the DL&W Sussex Branch which is a known Rail Trail, also I would like to 
cover the former Erie Mainline including the Piermont Branch... are they 
converted Rail Trails yet? Another possible destination would be the CNJ 
Highbridge Branch through the senic Lockwood Gorge (ES-99 / SE-98 routes... 
content!) during the day of course because of the Hooke... ok, I won't go 
there!


My favorite trail is the Vestal Rail Trail 
(http://www.nypca.org/greenways/trails/9-3.shtml) located on 2 miles of 
former DL&W ROW in Vestal, NY.
