A different pal sent me these pictures this morning. I believe they were taken along the Freehold Secondary towards the end of steam. (Mid 50s?) The other picture is of the now long gone CNJ station in Farmingdale. Crazy how different it looks now.

It's crazy how we've gone from steam engines and long lines of cars to just a few diesels and a train that half the time isn't even 10 cars long now.
The Atlantics were the main power on this line .
