Hey guys,
A while back, Dave (NJ Railfan Mod) and I came across a series of abandoned industrial spurs at Pitman, on the Millville Branch (now CR Vineland Secondary), just north of the Holly Ave grade crossing. These abandoned rails are buried in heavy tree growth, and it doesn't look like they were in service since sometime in the 70's at my guess...probably before Conrail even came into existance. In short, they would have been in service in the PRSL era.
I'm wondering if anyone knows what industry this was, when it was last served, any information on it? There are two, maybe three tracks in the trees, and the spurs were pretty long. The map attached here shows the location of the building(s) that were served, marked by the red star.
Any information would be appreciated...if you have photos of the industry getting cars, even better
