James,
I don't have any info on the tracks, but you will be traveling through my part of Pennsylvania to and from NJ. There is a ton of construction on the PA turnpike which is the road you will be traveling from NJ to Nelson Ledges. Use this link for specifics on the construction schedule and traffic.

On this part of the trip you will be passing within 20 minutes of my house. If you look at your map for day seven, look on PA 76 for New Stanton or Irwin. I am very close to that area. I don't know the rules, but if you have trouble within a couple hours of these locations do not hesitate to call me. 724-five one eight-1 five zero seven. In fact call me anytime in the next week so that I get your number and I will know it's you if you call on the trip.
You will also be passing close to RPM Hot Rods (Warrendale, PA), Amsleys Customs and G-Force (Chambersburg, PA). Just to name a few.
I'll do what ever I can to help or help find someone that can. My resources are yours.
Have a safe and fun journey.
