Was just up in South Amboy the other day and parked in the northernmost NJT parking lot next to the church running track. The new bridge over the NJCL holds the church track and a new roadway, apparently for future development in the areas of the old engine house and coal dumpers. They installed retro light poles and curbing showing future entrances into these areas. The old MU yard light tower still remains though.
The sand mining is still going on where the coal dumper peninsula was. Employees there are using the old JCP&L overpass for access. The old engine terminal site remains vacant except for a few remaining catenary supports and some telephone poles. I plan to get in there before summer to photograph what's left before the whole area is obliterated with development. I can't get enough of the old South Amboy engine terminal and adjoining facilities, including the RR yard to the west, especially since I'm modelling it in my basement. Railroading at its best!
