Re: (erielack) Campbell Hall Cluster
Just to follow up on what Walter wrote;
Actually it's not the M&U. They changed names years ago to Middletown & New
Jersey who are now a subsidiary of an outfit from PA along with East Penn
Railway.
Greycourt is just a short spur now where usually two boxcars are dropped
which delivers onions from California to the region. Further down the old
L&HR line the M&NJ service a chemical outfit. I hear whispers of other stops
they are looking into but nothing concrete.
