Hampton Yeah, Hampton is a pretty neat site. And not to had to get to if you don't have 4 wheel drive either. I'm not sure if you saw it, but there is a huge slag pile about 20 feet from the river and about 100 feet from the cranberry packing house. I missed it the first time I went, and it's...

Nice work Nice work and info Gabe. And thank you for showing me the remains in the canal. There's just so much to see out there it's incredible. And that slag was hiding pretty well. I'm glad I could help you find something you were looking for. BTW, what did Budd have to say about the site...

Williamstown Jerseyman, that's pretty neat. I had read about the CNJ as well as the Reading taking control of the railroad as they had both shared a lot of trackage. I didn't know that anything was actually done to access the Delaware Bay. From what I read the Reading was going to use this line...

Thanks PancoastDrifter, thanks. I'm still getting the hang of the whole linking thing. I checked the FAQs and the way I did it was the only listing I found. Thanks for the info. Kevin

Two Towns Dicktown still has a sign there of that name. And the older of the buildings there look to be the hunting club and a house across the street that looks a little grown in. As for the other town, same thing. The sand pit is the only thing I have ever heard of from there. Kevin

Atsion Awesome thread. There's just something that draws me to Atsion that I can't explain. What a neat place. About this Bailey Homestead, is this the one that collapsed and is behind the fence? If it is, are there any plans of doing anything with that wood? Kevin

Wolf Tracks When I used to live in Mullica Twp., I lived near a guy who had a wolf, or wolf mix for a dog. This thing was huge and his name was Nightmare. Pretty fitting considering this dog looked like one. It was very nice though and ended up at our home a couple of times trying to get some...

That really sucks. Every time I have been there, there's a group of random people that show up. Most of the time everyone's cool, but it's that small percentage that ruin it for the rest of us. And locking it up is exactly what's going to happen. And why do some of the people that go there feel...

Sawmills Thanks for that info Jerseyman, that is really interesting. I wonder how much some of the wood was going for price wise back then? Kevin

Tunnels Those tunnels look pretty interesting. I'm sure there's a lot more in this state judging by how many farms there were. Looks like a good place to get poison ivy. lol. Kevin

Williamstown Branch Anger Managment, as far as info, the only place I found out anything on this, and the other ACRR Lines was through a book offered by this site - http://www.westjersey-nrhs.org/ There's a lot of really good information and photos on on a lot of the lines in there. There's...

Williamstown Sorry, read it wrong. The original bridge in Mullica Hill was built in 1888, and a newer one was built by the reading in 1919. Those are the concrete piers that remain today. Kevin

Sand Thanks for that picture relayer. It's always interesting to see what things looked like back in the day. And since it says silica business, I wonder if this guy shipped his sand to the glassworks in the area?

Williamstown Branch Tom m - yeah, you go past Stranger Rd. heading north and the rail-trail is about 100 to 150 years across the road before the Downer Methodist Church. You'll see it, it's paved. Anger Management, the time frame for the railroad: Section between Atco and Williamstown was...

Glass Marbles Andy 1015, I really don't know. I asked the guys at the railroad museum in Tuckahoe and they said they probably were waste from a glass factory and used them for ballast. It's really weird seeing the tracks covered with these aqua blue marbles though. And why they made it to...

Williamstown RR Yeah, the location is a little tough, but it's on Fries Mill Road heading South from the Black Horse Pike just past 322 to Rowan. I just parked on the side of the road, I didn't see a car lot. It's on the western section towards Glassboro and follow the distance markers I listed...

I know this might not technically be in the Pine Barrens, but since it involves historical stuff in the woods, I figured I'd share. I took a stroll down the rail-trail that was part of the PRSL Williamstown Branch the other day and heading west from Fries Mill Rd. I noticed at about 100 yards...

Little late I know I'm a little late on this subject, but I too just found out about the fate of this crazy house. I went there a couple times at night and this house, the white one, really had something too it that made it extra creepy. About 3 years ago I had an urge to take some photos of...

Thanks again Spung-Man and Jerseyman for all the info provided. That picture of the Paisley ad was great. It's funny how much we feel like we can get scammed on the internet and the phone today, when it's been going on for centuries. The Apple Pie Hill development scheme was a classic as well...
