"The sad part about this is that the short sided planning by Caldwell allowed the portion of the line through their town to be sold to developers. If this had been preserved, the west Essex trail could have extended from little falls, all the way to East Hanover. Way to go Caldwell! ...and Verona, you are to blame also since a small part of the line goes through your town which is now having townhomes built on it. Good job!!!"
"The Caldwell Branch of the Erie Railroad ran from Little Falls to Essex Fells. Here it passed under Bloomfield Ave at a diagonal. The line continued west paralleling Bloomfield Ave on its south side and northeast where a portion is preserved as the West Essex Trail. When it first crossed here Linn Dr and Fells Rd did not yet exist. The tunnel has long since been filled in, or at least the portals have."
