Please note that there will be NO stops on any former EL lines - the stops noted above are on the former CNJ Dover & Rockaway Branch, and it will also hit stops on the former CNJ High Bridge Branch. The stops can be seen at this page:

www.njoperationtoytrain.com  (the above .org address is incorrect)

The train WILL be traversing the former DL&W to go between Morristown and the two separate CNJ lines, but that's as close to the EL as it gets.
