Trains have not rolled past Mt Holly in over 30 years since the tracks from Madison Ave in Mt Holly to Pemberton were removed in the Spring of 1984. However, much of the former line to Bay Head Jct still remains in the Pemberton area. The Pemberton station (once known as North Pemberton) still exists, and was restored in 1999:

The all concrete shelter at Ewansville still stands, and is now used as a private storage shed:

Now my questions....
1) The station that once existed in Vincentown was heavily renovated and eventually turned into a private office by a local company. A picture of it taken in the 90s appears in an issue of the "High Line" Vol 14. It was located on Main Street, just north of town. Does anyone recall seeing the station then, or in recent years? Does it actually still exist? I've been through Vincentown within the past year and could not find the former station.
2) Supposedly the station that once served Birmingham Jct was relocated in the 70s, several miles away to the side of Arney's Mount where it served as a snack bar for an antique shop complex. Again, does anyone recall ever seeing the Birmingham station in its new location? Does it still exist?
Any help on this matter, or any info or stories from the PRR's "Back Road" would most definitely be appreciated!
