Bridges Hey Largo, sorry the bridge names were so confusing. Google Maps said one thing, my atlas says another, and the historical listing I have says something else. I just picked what I thought they had to be. They're the only three bridges like that in the Atco area so I figured you would...

Bridges Checked out the other bridges the other day. They are 1. the connector for the Old White Horse Pike & the New White Horse Pike (not sure what the road name is), 2. Ohio Ave, and the Old White Horse Pike just north of the Pestletown Bridge Location. The Old White Horse Pike bridge is...

trestles Pancoast Drifter, thanks for the heads up too. I will get this picture linking thing. lol.

I know this line has been getting talked about a lot lately, but I found something interesting the other day I figured some might like. Almost exactly a mile south of Harris Station, Delorme Atlas loc. 56 - J10, is a ballasted section of the tracks that looks like it may have been redone right...

It got worse Whoever it is destroying the walkway on the trestle apparently doesn't feel like stopping any time soon. I took a ride down the tracks on Sunday and the same bridge that had the chunk taken out of it, (Springers Brook?) is ripped up again. This time the middle fixed piece is gone...

Fox I've always wanted to stop into this place. But even though the lights on, it seemed to be by accident and there were never any cars in the lot. Now I know that it really is open, I'll have to stop in and check it out. In all the years that I've driven past this place, I did notice that the...

Trip Awesome looking trip Guy. And looks like you had some nice weather to boot. Those swamp roads looked like boots territory. Kevin

Yeah, DEP is a tough one. They're already overworked and understaffed, and with the amount of paperwork that they have to go through for the smallest of things, it's tough going in that department. My girlfriend works for them. I think it would be interesting to see things like they were in the...

Bridges Largo, that sounds good to me. I don't know a whole lot, but I've been to a place or two, and would be happy to share any information I could. Most of the info I get is from either books, publications, maps, or deductive reasoning, and the latter has some bugs sometimes. lol. If I could...

Sorry, couldn't get the pictures to show.

George, great story. I have been to both bridges (or sites anyway) and although the Spring Garden rd. doesn't have the bridge anymore, it is still and interesting location. A West Jersey Rail Quarterly publication has the date of construction for the Spring Garden bridge at 1902 by the West...

Snow Yep, it came. It's about time we had some snow. I personally love the snow and could live somewhere like New Hampshire and be happy as a clam. With having off from work, I went out to Winslow Junction to catch the evening freight in the snow. It showed up 2 hours late because all the...

And if it is... Looks like Kim threw in a firecracker. Boring is just an opinion, and the pine barrens can be whatever anyone thinks it is. The forest doesn't have an opinion and it doesn't care what people think of it. Yes, things can be quiet and "boring" sometimes but that's what I love...

Cleanup I'm down for cleaning up. I have a truck and a flat trailer and if we all pitch in, I can take some big stuff to the EHT disposal center to get rid of it. It's not much. I usually pick up what I can wherever I go to an extent. Last time I camped at Bodine I went around and picked up...

Tractor What a great looking piece of machinery. Cool find trailhead00! Interesting facts. I've driven a few different types of tractors before, but that one looks like it's got the most character. Kevin

Dragoncjo - some trees were thrown into the woods on the side, and others were just laying on the ground. And the ramp was leaning up against the side of the tracks so they could get over the rails. There's another pallet about 50 yards north of the Batsto trestle that is also wedged into the...

Went there today and it was definitely a battery operated skill-saw. There was still sawdust on the railroad ties. And someone did it right where the tie is missing underneath so they wanted someone to get hurt. I looked around and didn't see the cut off parts so they must have been thrown in...

Bridge Wow, it's crazy to see that after I almost rode down the tracks the other night on my way home. I probably would have seen it, but I wouldn't have expected it. I never thought of the motorcycle guys building it, I figured it was the people who ride the horses. The planks weren't there in...

Estell Wow, thanks for that info Don. Thats really neat about the street names too. Kevin

Winslow Sue, thanks for the comment. As for the pits, there are quite a lot there. The one you see there is the most recent of many around there, and I'm not sure when it was last used, but a majority of the pits in that area were from a brick factory located near the junction. There was also a...
