Eastern Railroad Discussion > Brills JctDate: 02/04/16 19:07 Brills Jct Author: ValvePilot Is it possible to drive up the Brills Jct, get out and walk around?
Can I still see the CNR alignment towards Newark and Elzabethport. I have looked for the ROW from liberty state park that used to head toward the CNJ station Newark but never able to locate it other than the "CUT" thru downtown Jersey City. (West Coast Railroader) Date: 02/04/16 19:43 Re: Brills Jct Author: elu34ch My dad used to walk through Brills looking for cars for Sherwin Williams paints. Just south of Newark Penn you see 2 bridges intersect the PRR ROW. This is the CNJ line from Newark Broad St. station to Brills. Brills Jct. wye is located between US9 and the NJTP.

FWIW, I would be extremely aware of my surroundings. Posted from Android Date: 02/05/16 07:24 Re: Brills Jct Author: m1bprr Lackawanna484 Wrote:
