Oh my God. I'm back. I'm home. All the time, it was... We finally really did it.
You Maniacs!! You abandoned the line! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!

Sorry to hear that you're so upset Mitch. Is that signal bridge just in the middle of the woods, no tracks?
|
An eerie sight, I must say.....and very sad for the humble railfans of the world...
|
nature always reclaims that which man builds. can you imagine the archeological dig someday that comes across this thing?
|
I am also sorry for mitch being upset about this. A pretty sad site indeed.
|
Love this picture. It's sad, yes, but it says so many things. Well done.

That's an awesome picture! How long was the hike?

For those who may not have caught onto my comment, I was paraphrasing a famous line from "Tyler" at the end of the original movie "Planet of the Apes" when he learns just exactly where he is (not knowing throughout the entire movie) after stumbling upon the remains of a once great civilization in the form of the arm of the Statue of Liberty jutting out from a sandy beach. : )
Again, Gerald, excellent find and composition, both here, and your CNJ Terminal photographs.

ah, another sight of the old girl. It depresses me much to see how she, just went to waste after conrail.
Gerald, can you tell me the exact location of this bridge? i am sure, my chapter of the LVRRHS would love to have a signal head.
Well, it was atleast for the best of her. I am sure she'd died out on her own if conrail had scooped up her remains. and that is what really pisses me off. after researching it for a school project, it was those awful government agency's that brought her to her grave.
DAMN THE GOVERNMENT!

That's surreal looking.

The picture has the feel of this being out in the middle of nowhere, in reality, it's darn near smack dab in the heart of P-burg, NJ as seen on Google Earth. Amazing that it hasn't been taken apart piece by piece by scrappers and salvagers and the like.
