    How A Forest Was Saved

    Guy, Since I'm not an expert with the CNJ yet :-), I wrote to several CNJ forums and have had several replies that say "yes". One person also informed me that there's a picture of it in the the book "The Trail of the Blue Comet" I believe it's on page 186. I will be heading down there...

    How A Forest Was Saved

    Hello Guy, Sorry for the late reply but I just remembered that my e-mail address has changed and I didn't update it. Therefore, I didn't get notification that you posted. The CNJ had a branch that went out to Atco that crossed over to RT206 so I'm sure that there was steam power in that...

    Pine Barrens Sights at New York Penn Station

    Ben, Consider yourself lucky not to get harassed as us Railfans are now viewed upon as annoying and terrorists. Not too long ago, NJT tried to enforce a policy which stated that no pictures are allowed of their trains, stations, equipment, etc are to be taken from any location. Some RR...

    1939 Blue Comet Wreck Photo's on Ebay

    I wonder why they were cut? As far as never riding there again, we thought about the same with the DL&W Cut-off and that looks like it may happen (against the Nimby's wishes) after being abandoned for over twenty years. I guess that having a preserve there would kill any chance of an...

    1939 Blue Comet Wreck Photo's on Ebay

    I had heard that an owner of an existing excursion railroad in Vermont was looking at creating one at Chatsworth. This was about a year ago and I haven't been able to get down there since. Has anyone seen work being performed on the tracks near Chatsworth? I heard that some trees were...

    JCRR Track Photo on Ebay

    I doubt anyone would by them unless they're from out of state and a big CNJ fan. However, my last bid on eBay didn't show any bidders until the final hours. The book "The Lackawanna in Northwest New Jersey" started with a bid of $10 and didn't get a bid until the fifth hour. After that, the...

    JCRR Track Photo on Ebay

    Unfortunately, being so far from the Pines, I can't get down there as often as I would have like to. Therefore, I really don't have the opportunity to explore or even contribute to the forum with the exception of the CNJ. I've been exploring my county as well as being more involved with...

    JCRR Track Photo on Ebay

    Interesting. If there's a market for these types of photos, I'll gladly sell my collection. These tracks look like they could be anywhere on the CNJ in the Pine Barrens. I have explored about half of the Southern Division from Lakehurst to Winslow Junction and all of my pictures look identical...

    Found in the Woods: One Railroad

    One place to start is this site: http://web.mit.edu/spui/www/temp/nj.pdf Another helpful, but limited somewhat, are the SPV maps which can be found at:http://www.steam-powered-video.co.uk/atlases.shtml You can match these maps up to say a Delorme map to guide you through. In addition to...

    Sounds just like so many other cities around the country. I can remember when Newark, Patterson and Passaic were also nice places to live or visit; I don't think you can do either now. Ken

    At first I was very apprehensive of taking the family to see the state aquarium but we scoped the area out first and it looked like you were safe seeing there were many police cars. So, we did go and it was fine. We also took a tour of the Battleship NJ and glad we went. I believe Camden was...
