Re: (erielack) Some Heritage views from yesterday
When I heard that 1074 was restricted east of Boonton, I assumed it was
because of the Rockaway River bridge in Boonton. They originally wanted to
run to Mountain View - correct? I wonder what happened to the bridge. It
supported the Trainmasters and the U34's.
