It's very interesting that being so close to the Erie's other branches such as the Greenwood Lake which went to it's namesake terminus and the line to Florida and Pine Island, that somehow these lines were never connected someway. There was also the Ringwood Branch. The all terminated or weren't very far fom one another. Any comments on this?

There are several places where you can view the remains of the SMRR, which ran parallel to and under the bed of Sloatsburg Road, just north of Ringwood and West Milford, NJ.
