Raritan River power
Title:  Raritan River power
Description:  In 1980, Conrail absorbed one of Jerseys more obscure operations, the Raritan River RR, which had a base of operations in South Amboy. I never saw them while they were independent, but did finally catch their SW, still in its original colors, but with a CR number, while watching commuter trains one afternoon.
