First off, thanks to all who answered my Rockaway Loop query - I might have
to back to the McWilliams Forge parking lot to see if I can detect where the
Loop track might have cut in... :)

Today, my family and I participated in the MS Walk in Roxbury Township, NJ
to raise money for MS research (a pretty selfish act on my part, but hey!
:). The walk route went around Horseshoe Lake in Succasunna (I had never
walked around the walking path here), and on the back side, it parallels...
the former DL&W Chester Branch! This branch was just restored with Federal
$$$ for future freight service (a former Westinghouse Elevator plant that
was once serviced by the EL is now being developed as an industrial park,
and Morris County wants to encourage the businesses that will be moving in
to use rail to keep truck traffic in mostly-residential Roxbury to a
minimum). Here's a shot of the long line of "MS Walkers" paralleling the
branch, looking better than it ever did in EL years! The fencing was added
by the County to placate the Mayor of Roxbury Township, who feared the "fast
trains would be killing children!" (top speed on this line is 10 MPH, even
after the restoration :)
