    Odd historical pole field from defunct AT&T site to be removed from Barnegat Bay

    Good. It's about time. I was up in Lawrence township with my girlfriend a couple months ago at Mercer Meadows, a very nice park made from a former pole farm. The attached link is very interesting. They really did a nice job on making trails. Many hawks in the meadows...

    I've been working on the railroads

    Thanks for the reply Jerseyman. There was another one in the late 1960's 4 miles to the NE of the Marine Tech plant; the derailment of a train carrying sand just NE of Woodmansie. You can see the cars using http://www.historicaerials.com. I'm sure the photos do not match that one though, but the...

    I've been working on the railroads

    Jerseyman, are you specifically referencing the photos in post #32? I can't resolve in my mind the vegetation and topography difference between the photos in post #32 with what is along Savoy Blvd today. Although I'm not familiar with the siding you mention..I suppose it could have swung to the...

    What Am This ?

    Oh no, heavens forbid! We must leave these sort of things for the archaeologists to study in the future. :p

    I've been working on the railroads

    The man in the checkered shirt with his hands in his pockets; he looks familiar, and like he comes from genuine piney stock. I can't zoom in on these. Be good to have that option.

    I've been working on the railroads

    I have a strong feeling that you can eliminate the sand car derailment by Bullock in the 60's. There were more cars toppled then, and unless my eyes are deceiving me, there is a curve in the track in one of those photos. That is a straight run near Bullock. Too, the trees seem more deciduous in...

    Music for the day

    I am a Frank fan too. Doubt many others on this board are, but this is such a strong performance by the master, I'm throwing it in.

    Washington Tpke 745 acre thinning bid

    Oji is absolutely correct. The barrens are not choked when nature IS allowed to take it's course with hot, sweeping fires. I'm a big proponent of the outlandish idea to create and maintain huge firebreaks around pineland towns and agriculture areas, in addition to one nearly contiguous and...

    Music for the day

    Very interesting Jon. She's easy on the eyes too. Here's one from Lisa Hannigan. She's done some Nick Drake too. This is from her latest album.

    Music for the day

    This seems like it would be a good read. Have any of you read it? https://www.abebooks.com/products/isbn/9781627793995/ I was 17 in 1971, and remember how much I was into music at the time. It got me thinking of albums that made an impression on me, for one reason or another: The first album...
