Posts with the label railroads
Port Murray has a post office that is . . . a trailer.
What is more interesting is what is behind the post office/trailer - an old caboose and abandoned train station.

Last week I told you about Northlandz, the model railroad located in Flemington, New Jersey. I showed you some trains and the spectacular scenery and settings that were created by the owner.

Northlandz is considered the “world’s largest model railroad” by some, although others have claimed that title for a place in Germany.
It is certainly one of the largest in the world. Northlandz started with the owner building trains and villages for his own amusement after a hard day’s work.
The Pine Creek Railroad at Allaire State Park in Farmingdale/Wall Township is one of the oldest continually operating narrow gauge steam preservation railway exhibits in the country.
All are welcome to take a trip!
All Aboard!!!

Here is the inside of one of the trains. How did they learn the functions of the different knobs? They look so similar.
Here is the switching control board, where one man was in charge for many years. It must have been an interesting job, as well as having great responsibility.
Mark and I went on a trip to Cooperstown, New York in July 2009 to visit the National Baseball Hall of Fame. As we drove around the beautiful New York State countryside, we discovered these abandoned trains somewhere around the little hamlet of Maryland, New York.
