Jamaica Express Posted January 3, 2008 Share #2 Posted January 3, 2008 I personally like the M&E its the 2nd busiest line in the system and you can catch plenty of trains running up and down the line and a great line to see almost any type of equipment MU's,Push-Pull's, diesel sets etc.(I would say Summit is one of the best spots for this) and any station east of that point The best way to/from Somerville is via the Raritan Valley Line which is also a busy line during Rush Hour but nothing compared to the M&E Lake Hopatcong station isn't too far from the lake itself, I know its down landing rd which is the road that goes to the station,but If you plan on going out there I would recomend having other things to do if you railfan this far out on the line due to the fact that service east of Dover is somewhat limited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo M 201 Posted January 3, 2008 Share #3 Posted January 3, 2008 Railfanning the M&E lines is good. Lots of fun and its usually busy on the main part of the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EE Broadway Local Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share #4 Posted March 6, 2008 Thank you for the replies and the advice. NJT has a good rail system which makes it easier to see some of New Jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
