(erielack) P&D History

["Paul Brezicki" <doctorpb_@_bellsouth.net>]

What was the early history of the Passaic & Delaware, a colorful name for a
line which apparently got nowhere near either of it's endpoints? What was
it's relationship with the M&E? I'm guessing it was one of several RR's
which set out to build from north Jersey to the Delaware R, but unlike
Susquehanna, CNJ and M&E, was unsuccessful. Looks like it got from Summit to
Gladstone, where the route got very hilly and it ran out of money, becoming
a dead-end branch which was merged into M&E. Can any of you history buffs on
the list give the real story?
