Here is some more insightful info on this station/location. 1. Eventually the tracks were taken up to avoid incurring any taxes. 2. The bike path is located on the remaining West Jersey rail bed that runs through EHT to the Atlantic County Vocational School in Mays Landing. 3. The 1880 rear end collision occurred over the EHR where the trestle remnants still remain. 4. Follow Main Street to the cotton mill bridge, for the location of the dam to Lake Lenape. Also, the cotton mill at that location used the water power from the dam to run the milling equipment from 1867 and for the next 82 years. 5. The owner of the Mays Landing Power Company-owners of the Cotton Mill, also brought in the railroad for passenger service 6. Here is more info on the train wreck: ruclips.net/video/8vwvZWW5g4Y/видео.html PS-If you know of a business or rail affiliated group who might want to sponsor some signage at this location, please message me. To date, there has been nothing erected to acknowledge this substantial loss of life. After 140 years and 27 lost souls, they are long overdue. Thanks Much!
That bench you are showing is a memorial form the family who lost their son, he would to sit in that location looking out at the river because that was his favorite spot ❤️
I really enjoy this new series. Being a Railfan just doesn't have to be about the trains, sometimes little things like this have a big story. Awesome stuff man!
Ah, thank you for the correction! Is there a name for that body of water I can correct it to? I appreciate the insight, and thank you for watching my video, by the way! 🙏
I used to hang out there as a young teen. It wasn't boarded up then. And correct it isn't " Lake Lenape" , it's the Egg Harbor River. But hey, your a train station guy not a river guy. There was a horrific train accident near there August 11, 1880. Not sure if it was coming into this particular station, but just some more intriguing towny rail history.
I am a treasure hunter and I am always looking for metal detecting sites and old bottle dumps. If you know where any old bottle dumps are make a video of it.
Hey dude, you should goto Wildwood Junction Sation in Middle Township, NJ. I've been there twice and it is a very cool place to explore. You should go soon because it will be torn down by February 21, 2019.
Such a shame you can’t get there anymore on rail. I think in the future people will start working from home more and more and will not need to commute everyday to work. More people will find they don’t need cars as everything is deliverable. With that said rail lines will provide perfect transportation to beach towns all along the east coast.
I couldn't possibly agree more with you. I hope that some day old rail lines can be resurrected! New Jersey in particular sorely needs some relief from road congestion... thanks for watching!
Thank you so much, Bippin!! Really appreciate it man. I sure do, couldn't agree more. This one was in pretty impressive shape for having been out of use for so long!
I'm not sure when they physically removed the tracks, but the line was abandoned in the late-1960s. Passenger trains ceased to operate on the Newfield Branch in 1950, so it was freight from that point until the end.
Thanks! I'm actually extremely busy, but I just make sure that whenever I get free time, I make the most out of it. I don't like to let a single second go to waste. People have more time than they think, it's just a matter of how you choose to use it :-)
It's actually the great Egg Harbor River. That area opens up near the Tressel. I grew up there in a house on Main Street. I spent MANY days fishing at the Tressel and on Lake Lenape. Lake Lenape is west of that location on the other side of the dam.

Nice to see the house I grew up in, in the background
You should talk to Hamilton Township about possibly redeveloping this old train station into a museum.
That's a great idea! Thank you for watching!
@@TrainiacProductions No problem.

Well done, thanks for sharing!

Good video, but one minor correction. That's not Lake Lenape at that spot. The dam and lake are about 2000 feet upstream from there.
Ah, thank you for the correction! Is there a name for that body of water I can correct it to? I appreciate the insight, and thank you for watching my video, by the way! 🙏
@@TrainiacProductions You're welcome. The body of water is the Great Egg Harbor River.
I didn't know they had this here an abandoned train station

The Wildwood Junction station has recently been torn down sadly
Coordinates?
Would make a nice rest stop for a Rail/Trail bike path
It really would! Thank you for watching!
Heh. A video shot in my town.
On something I was unfortunate enough to not experience.
I am a treasure hunter and I am always looking for metal detecting sites and old bottle dumps. If you know where any old bottle dumps are make a video of it.
I used to find old milk bottles in the woods by the bench shown in video. It used to be a dump there.
Nice tour!
Thank you very much, Earle! I appreciate you checking it out!
This abandoned right of way should be converted to a rail trail.
Cool video Kyle!!
Thanks very much, Darius!

SO AWESOME BRO!! {LEASE CONTINUE TO DO MORE
Thank you so much, Pat! I'm so honored that you like it man, I will definitely do plenty more of these!!

Your prediction may as well have become a reality with covid-19.
Now, THIS is my kind of station. Dilapidated, covered in graffiti, surrounded by trees, near an overpass... I love it!
Awesome video. Don't you just wish these stations could talk. 👍👍👍
Thank you so much, Bippin!! Really appreciate it man. I sure do, couldn't agree more. This one was in pretty impressive shape for having been out of use for so long!
Cute thumbnail Kyle, great video, I love the kitty as well
Are there any redevelopment plans for the station?
@StoneNugget2 I was referring to redevelopment, like maybe turning the station into a museum.
I wonder when they took the tracks out? What kind of trains went through there?
I'm not sure when they physically removed the tracks, but the line was abandoned in the late-1960s. Passenger trains ceased to operate on the Newfield Branch in 1950, so it was freight from that point until the end.
Thanks for telling me!!
They removed the tracks yet there are still tracks going over the river right down that path
What are the coordinates of the Mays Landing Railroad Station?
39.450751, -74.728560
hello
hello
Nice video. I just have to ask how do get the time to do all this stuff?
Thanks! I'm actually extremely busy, but I just make sure that whenever I get free time, I make the most out of it. I don't like to let a single second go to waste. People have more time than they think, it's just a matter of how you choose to use it :-)
That isn't Lake Lenape.......HA!!!!
What is it, then? Thanks for your insightful comment!
It's actually the great Egg Harbor River. That area opens up near the Tressel. I grew up there in a house on Main Street. I spent MANY days fishing at the Tressel and on Lake Lenape. Lake Lenape is west of that location on the other side of the dam.
