Newark Branch

While I was exploring the NY&GL area, I thought I would try the Newark Branch:

A positively fantastic series of photos Ken. Amazing the changes over 25 or so years but it doesn't take nature long to reclaim unused ROW and once a structure is razed it doesn't take many years to erase any trace of it's ever having been there. That long time residents can't seem to provide much info isn't all that strange either when you consider trains being a part of the surroundings that most folks ignored and likely noted their passing with hardly a blink. In any case, kudos to you on a nice bit of photography.

Many thanks.

I have a lot of fun doing these trips. The problem is focusing on one line or division.

I can't understand why some people don't remember these stations. They were in their 70s so they would have existed. Who knows?

Glad you enjoyed.
