Street Car Line to Weston Likely in County Plan
A Flemington attorney applied Tuesday for a 30 year franchise to build an electric streetcar from Clarksburg through West Milford and Good Hope to Weston. The route would follow Milford road and river beds, carrying passengers freight and mail, with promoters claiming near term construction if approved. Locals say it would benefit the region and some offer free right of way.
