Belvidere & Delaware River

Company History: This line was launched in 1995 by the Black River Railroad System family of shortlines to take over operation of a 16 mile line between Phillipsburg and Milford, New Jersey along the Delaware River from the previous operator Conrail. The Milford end was cut back to Carpentersville in 2002. This was part of the former Pennsylvania Railroad’s “Bel-Del” line. The line has hosted steam excursions by the New York Susquehanna & Western Technical & Historical Society. As of 2013, the BDRV diesel roster included three GP9’s and one each of SW8m, SW1200, SW1200RS, SW1500, GP7u, GP8, GP9u, and GP10.
