<p>Excellent answers and great sources, Vile. I am surprised Fort Monmouth is still functioning... it was dysfunctional when I was stationed there...(I might have been the cause of some of that)</p><p>I lived in government quarters about a mile north of main post, across from the golf course. The rail line ran north south about a quarter mile away from my back door- it did not actually go on the post itself, but, as you said, bordered it. I was under the impression that it ran out to Earle- there was not much else around that required rail traffic in scenic Eatontown.</p><p>I was also stationed at Fort Bliss and don't remember a railhead there- but I was not looking very hard. I do recall seeing a line that ran from El Paso to Alamagordo, which was incredibly straight. There was a NASA train that used the line once to set up an alternative landing site in White Sands for the Space Shuttle, which I got to see. I suppose there must have been a siding somewhere that led into WSMR.</p>
