This is sad to read. I am always saddened when history is removed in the name of progress. Was really hoping someone had gotten a few picks of that rolling stock. Remember skipping school back in the to pleasure ride around Upper Freehold Township and was blown away that a rail line existed...

One time while camping along the Delaware up near Barryville after one or twelve brews, I fell in to the campfire. My fellow campers referred to me by my new "Indian" name for the rest of the trip: Firestumbler.

Another thread I loved. Down here in Florida it is said that the appearance of some Roseate Spoonbills is a sign of a flourishing ecosystem in the area. I would think that could apply to turkey populations in the Pinelands. Should really be our National bird instead of the eagle as Franklin...

I just loved this thread. Outstanding photography. Thank you.

One of the feeders of Kettle Creek is named Tar Kiln

I grew up on North Bay Ave off of Church Road.

I have to say that this is one of my all time favorite threads so far on here. Thank you for bringing the magic of a pine barrens night in to my own back patio.

The chemical plant in Toms River. Good read...

Anything ever come of this?

we used to refer to the green colored ones as "dioxyn ponds". Growing up near Ciba Geigy it paid to be cautious.

I think that Ben would appreciate what you found now that he's living up there now. Maybe an excursion to the area described in Salter's narrative is in order?

That's where I read the story!

I like your moniker "ninemileskid". Knew it sounded familiar and just couldn't place it until today, but I dig the Tennessee Jed lyric nod.

speaking of which, I am very interested in the history of the Cranberry Inlet to the Toms River. Does anyone here have information as to how it closed up and details on Mr. Ortley's efforts to open it back up?

Dig into this a little and see if you can find the story of "Indian Will" https://kepwel.com/about-us/

I was fortunate enough to grow up near your beloved pinelands of NJ and live within striking distance of the Long Island pines an adult. The Long Island pine forest is wonderful. If any of you can ever explore/canoe the upper Peconic River area, I highly recommend it. Just point yourself...

Great article. Thanks for sharing.

Reading this now I think that the Pinelands themselves may have been in morning with the announcements of Y Buc Bill & Brendan Byrne passing posted on consecutive days.

I will admit that tropical summers can be downright brutal but the saying down here goes, "If you can't take the summers, you don't deserve the winters." It is early February and the high temps have been in the 70's every day since before the Holidays. Crisp high 40's-low 50's as lows at...
