Number:117
Info:Gründung 1904 im Rahmen von fast einem Dutzend Insolvenzen und Reorganisation der früheren Rockaway Valley RR. Die zwischen 1888 und 1892 gebaute 25 Meilen lange Bahn zweigte bei White House Station, N. J. von der Central RR of New Jersey ab und führte bis Watnong, N.J. (etwa 2 Meilen außerhalb des Stadtzentrums von Morristown). Ihre hauptsächliche Fracht waren Pfirsiche von den Plantagen am Südende der Strecke. Zu dieser Bahn kann man nur zitieren: „During the railroad building craze of the late 19th century a number of railroads were built in the United States that probably should never have been built. Indeed, this Railroad was poorly financed; it served no large cities and only ran to the outscirts of one medium-sized town; it had no significant industry located along its route; ir relied heavily on a seasonal and unpredictable crop for revenue; it interchanged with only one Railroad, which held it „captive“; it was build as cheaply as possible; and it was poorly maintained“. Vor allem die billige Bauausführung führte dazu, daß ständig Züge entgleisten und daß die Bahn in Regenzeiten buchstäblich im Schlamm versank. Die schaukelnde Fahrt brachte der Bahn den Spitznamen „Rock-A-Bye Baby“ ein. Als dann 1913 auch noch die Central RR of New Jersey die Interchange-Gebühren nicht mehr monatlich, sondern wöchentlich verlangte, war das Ende der Bahn nahe: Am 18.10.1913 fuhr der letzte Zug. Was übrigens die Offiziellen nicht davon abhielt, noch Wochen nach der Stilllegung für 65.000 $ ein brandneues Kohleverladungsterminal zu bauen, das nie in Betrieb ging.
Specials:Braun/schwarzer Druck, feine Vignette mit Dampflok.
Availability:Unentwertet, mit Kupons ab 1910.
Condition:VF
Sold:85,00 EUR
