This segment of the railroad continued to be used for freight until 1978 when the line closed and the right of way was repurposed for a recreational rail trail in the early 1980s.[4] Bull's Island is the trail head of the D&R Canal Trail.
The Raven Rock Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 10, 2015 for its significance in community development and architecture.[4]
