"The road extends from White House to Watnong, a distance of 24½ miles with 2 miles of sidings. It is a very crooked line with heavy grades and curves, built upon the same plan as a trolley, up and down, without regard to grade or line. ruling grade was 4% near Peapack, New Jersey. The track is laid with mostly 50 and 56 pound yard; 25 and 28 "kg/m" rail, badly worn the time of the report, 80-to-90-pound-per-yard (40 to 45 "kg/m") rail was considered to be standard. The road is ballasted for about 4 miles with cinders in small quantities, the remainder is mud, and for miles ties lie on top of the ground with no ballast. Cuts and fills are light. Two mixed trains are run each day on which passengers are carried. The road's equipment includes one old coach and an engine which has been furnished by the Central Railroad of New Jersey for 6 dollars a day. The superintendent of the road is doing all he can to maintain the road with the means at his command."
