Yeah Pumpers, it's a customer wasteland. There used to be some customers like Ft. Monmouth, Republic Waste, etc., but all gone now. Your mention of the Phoenix Powder Co. several posts back brought back my memory of the other power plant in the area. If you are familiar with the Maxim Rd. area, Hudson Maxim had and experimental smokeless power plant in the woods Northeast of the crossing. Hudson's plant was at one time a major area employer. As an aside Hudson's brother Hiram as the inventor of the machine gun. Hudson helped supply him ammunition. The crossing was originally called Hendricksons and was flag stop. A simple station was built around the time Maxim built his plant in the woods and was named for him. I lived on Maxim Rd. from 1982-1992 and remember sand trains blowing for the crossing, sometimes late night. Every now and then we would be stopped by a sand train and they were generally 50-60 cars.
