Re: (erielack) Fwd: New Jersey Live Steam Question

There were two small-scale operations here:

Centerville & Southeastern, at the Becker Dairy Farm, now an office park
off I-280 exit 5.  Equipment is now in Phillipsburg and runs on weekends.

Bertrand Island, amusement park on the east side of Lake Hopatcong.

Both made it into the 1970's but not the 1980's.
