    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...

    NJ DEP Interested In Purchasing Green Bank School

    I like that newspaper. They certainly don't skimp on info from municipal meetings.

    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...

    Where is this?

    The man who donated the land is well known for building a lot of homes; in fact tens of thousands of homes for elderly people.

    Where is this?

    You must have had one other person with you; who took the photo?

    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...

    New Ford Bronco

    Ha! I once took the top off my 75 Jeep CJ5, put down the windshield, and and drove from Mount Misery to the bogs behind Lebanon Lakes while standing up. I had one foot outside on the running board to balance it out. It was a summer day, and the fresh wind and tunes blaring from the speakers...

    [PPA] Park Police Need Tools to Combat ORV Abuse

    Thank you for saying that. Regarding the PPA, they were in the past, and could be in the future, a force for good. I think they just went way overboard here. They forgot or ignored people like us. One of their most egregious faults lately is allowing too many people within their organization to...
