  While we're on the subject of old rails and such, I'd love to see the area at Black Diamond. Remember the stairs leading up to a grade Derrick? If anyone is out that way, please take a photo and post it to the list. It's driving me crazy how I didn't even bother taking a photo of that location.
  I wonder if anything is left of the old 38A right past Clearview Loop(now a parking lot I believe).   I believe there is a small stretch of land before the new line appears.
  Another thing that has me curious: Is the new Oak Trestle over Rt. 51 in the exact same place as the old one? I've seen some photos on the Port Authority website and it almost looks as if I can see the old abutments. Has anyone ventured here and seen it?
