Freedom Train Monument in Bradley Beach NJ

[GSC]

The Freedom Train monument at the Bradley Beach NY&LB / NJCL freight yard, all but unknown and placed in a spot no one goes to, an overgrown patch of dirt next to Memorial Drive physically in Neptune, is being moved to the park adjacent to the Bradley Beach train station.

A ceremony to dedicate it in its new place will take place on October 20.

Several speakers will be featured, tentatively including Ross Rowland, who "invented" the American Freedom Train.

More info as I get it.
