Great collection !! I have several photos from the "Back Road" line from Camden to Mt. Holly from 30+ years ago. Several include stuff that isn't there any longer.... Like a GP-15 up on the plate girder bridge at "Dead Man's Curve" in Moorestown. Another is of end cab switchers over the A.C. line in Pennsauken. Those rails were still in place & serving the lumber yard at Cove Rd. at the time. Me & my brother both witnessed a derailment just outside of that lumber yard. The engine skipped the rails (rear trucks) and went right back up onto the rails- thereby pulling the 1st boxcar behind it off the rails......weird. But true !! 🚬😎
Was The Morristown & Eire Railroad ever affiliated with these other Railroads that ran parallel to The New Jersey Transit Commuter Train and also Amtrak?,0:33
Bet few are cognisant of the absence of tagging/graffiti/spray paint all over everything as it is today ! What a pleasure seeing rolling stock and locos the way they should be !!.. I oft wonder if spray paint could be licensed by paying, say, a one time ( if over 18), $25 fee at DMV for a plastic card to present at paint store.. My belief is it could cut down the tagging by 80% say... Don't even know why these kids waist their $$ and time standing there doing the same 3D style over and over when they should be out chasing chicks !! Anyway, thanks for fabulous fotos !!
i don't know about others but to me trains are a very weird combination of such sad dystopic ugliness they look they crawled straight from orwell's 1984, and the inexplicable beauty in it.even passenger trains excluding bullet trains follow this very same pattern. it's such an uniform pattern it really looks like the railroading industry alltogether wants to look bad=D

You wouldn’t happen to have any photos of the Rich Bros coal towers at 36th St in Pennsauken?
@@kge420 No, sorry I don't. Check out the West Jersey Rail Society videos on RUclips. They are GREAT & might have what you're after....

Anything from the end of line in mount holly per chance?
Or any info on the older businesses in the industrial park? I’m sorry I’m desperate the forums and chat rooms have not delivered what I’m looking for.
Amazing photos and commentary, thanks to you all for sharing😊
I enjoyed this very much. I was working in Moorestown, and attended Rutgers Camden. I bought my first railroad set at Pennsauken "Mall". Early 70s.
Beautiful collection of images and great commentary. Thanks for sharing
