Top Comments of this video!! :3
Tim - Thank you for making this series of videos on the many commuter lines on Long Island, New York, and New Jersey. It is very interesting to see that region of the US from the perspective your camera provides. Thank you for that effort. Along the same thought, are you watching the NJT active work in the restoration of part of the Lackawanna Cutoff? Quite a bit of track has been laid already it seems. Interesting to see something that was taken out of service so long ago being resurrected!!

[1:24:45] Your Popeye impersonation is spot on!

I think I remember a Sopranos scene where Tony is waiting to meet somebody in a deserted parking lot in the Meadowlands, and believe it or not, a train on the old Boonton line passes by right behind him. The scene was shot in the late '90s, and I think the old Boonton line was abandoned in 2002.

At 45:47 Kahn Road was a horn zone up until 2021 when the quad gate signals were installed 2 years earlier.
Additionally, past that crossing was a private crossing for an apartment complex with just crossbucks and a stop sign, but that was also removed.

As someone who lives within walking distance of Mt Arlington Station, I agree with what you say @1:12:00

For info - in early December ('23) the Federal Railroad Administration blessed Amtrak's proposed Scranton - NYC service via the Lackawanna Cutoff with (up to) $500K for more planning-related activity, so at least it got past that hurdle.
If you ever get a chance, you might want to go have a look at what the NJ Transit contractor is doing about restoring the right-of-way from Lake Hopatcong/Port Morris Yard to Andover, also along the Lackawanna Cutoff, including bringing the Roseville Tunnel back into serviceable shape. With any luck, you'll be able to add that 7 mile (or so) stretch to your log-book in two or three years. Hang in there!
