This old wood caboose now serves as a check cashing establishment in Passaic, NJ 10/5/2008. I wonder if anyone knows the heritage of this car. |

Ghost of the Erie Main |
| Description: |
A crossing gate and relay case protect the ghost of the Erie Main in Carlton Hill, NJ 10/5/2008. There ARE rails in the crossing, but you would be hard pressed to find rail beyond it. I think its safe to say the former Erie here is dead. |

Track to nowhere. |
| Description: |
If one looks closely at the track on the left, one will notice that it goes nowhere. It ends just before the Wood-Ridge station and the track hasnt been installed in the crossing to connect it to the Seamans lead on the other side of the crossing, yet the signal to protect it is installed and working. 10/5/2008 |

Got CHEX? |
| Description: |
ACF center flow hopper CHEX #16 sits on the Seamans Lead in Wood-Ridge, NJ 10/5/2008. The car has been sitting there for some time judging by the growth of the trees. The last stenciled date on the car is 1998. I wouldnt be a bit surprised if this car got lost in the shuffle after the Conrail split. |
