DEM of central NJ

[rwk]

Anyone know of any DEM that has the ex-DL&W/EL now Norfolk Southern and NJT line east of Phillipsburg through Hackettstown, Dover, Morristown, etc? There is DEM by fishlipsatwork that has the Lehigh Line route now NS as far east as Bound Brook, NJ and there are NY area routes like New York Cross Harbor that contain part of the route I'm looking for, the Hoboken end where the NJT terminal is. I'm trying to create a circle route from Hoboken, NJ through Newark to Bethlehem, PA via the Lehigh Line, and the Washington Secondary/Boonton Line east of Phillipsburg through Hackettstown, Dover, etc. back to Hoboken. I might join the route with the NS Reading Line route from USLW at Phillipsburg, NJ. I want to recreate the route of this excursion it was a special excursion operated by M&E, NS and NJT. I could make the missing sections myself in TransDEM but it's a pain to download all the squares of map data for the route and extract them all and load them into TransDEM. Is there an easier way to get map data for TransDEM? The source for the map data is National Map Viewer.

I think your best bet is to dl the dem data from the USGS site. I usually dl a few extra 1 deg. x 1 deg. data blocks for future routes whenever I'm on the site. I have nearly the whole state of Massachusets tucked away for future use, as well as much of Pennsylvania. Sorry, I don't have any NJ data which I could send you.
