Phase III Complete!

The route now extends to Denville, 34 Miles from Hoboken.
This is also where the Morris & Essex and the Boonton Branch converge on their way to Dover.

The route also includes:
-Track and Scenery Improvements to Hoboken
-Scenery Improvements to the Mainline east of Passaic
-Various other small things

Prior to the release of this update, My hard drive had a major malfunction. I luckly had a copied file of the route on my laptop, so only a few days work was lost. However my folder full of hundreds of historic photographs was lost. This will mean Phase IV to Dover will take quite a while as I will have to dig up those photos again. A difficult and tedious task, but certainly not an impossible one. Dover has changes quite a lot in the last 100 years so I wouldn't care to skip on the detail that I get from the photographs.

Best, C Johnson

Phase II Complete!

This was a long time coming! Boonton proved to be a challenge to model, but I learned a lot from it where new skills will be used along the rest of the the project
