A little additional information about the underpass in B0527. The road at this location is currently known as Brooklyn Road; I don't know if this was its name in 1909.

The west bound approach to this underpass was extremely dangerous with a steep downgrade leading to a 90 degree curve. I recall numerous accidents at the spot in the 1970's,
including a least one fatal one. Sussex County converted this to an at grade crossing within a few years of abandonment. If tracks are ever fully relaid, it will be a grade crossing.
Attached are a few shots from about four years ago.

20120118A is oriented similar to B0527, but from a higher perspective.

20120118B looks railroad east. This is as far as the actual track relaying got and the last time I was past this a few months ago the end of track wasn't so close to the road.

20120118C looks railroad west. This was temporary track which was later removed.

I believe an additional crossing at grade has been created further west. I understand the bridge carrying Wolf's Corner Road over the Cutoff near Greendell was removed about 15 years back
It had deteriorated badly, the County determined the expense to rebuild it wasn't justified and the road lowered to be level with the old right of way.

A0526-0528 I'll assume are as marked. Locals would have to confirm.
*Correct
date on A0528 S/B 5-21-07*

B0526-0528 Are as marked. I believe that the underpass in B0527 is the
only underpass that has been abandon,and made into a grade crossing, (
after the Cut Off was abandon ).

X0526-0528 *Once again reminding that Mt Station is the name of the
station, not the community it's in, which is South Orange.*

I"ll simply go with Chuck W info.



*X0526 - Montrose Avenue on the westbound side of Mountain StationX0527 -
On top of Montrose Avenue overpass, looking same direction as X0526X0528 -
Looking up Meeker Street towards Montrose Avenue/E. Clark Street on WB side
of railroad at Mountain Station*
