Description
In 1950 a Company in New Jersey contemplated scrapping their steam engines in favor of diesel power. A small group of railroad enthusiasts bought the engines and started the Pine Creek Railroad No. 1. In 1952 the Pine Creek Railroad Museum was formed and a group volunteers added a passenger coach. In 1962 the railroad moved to Allaire State Park in Wall Township, New Jersey and the non-profit Pine Creek Railroad Division of of the New Jersey Museum of Transportation was created. Shortly thereafter a half-mile track was built. In 1967 an old railroad station from Aberdeen Township in New Jersey was relocated to the site and refurbished. Volunteers have provided many additions over the years that allow visitors to enjoy a ride through local railroad history that is still in operation today.

Love your gallery. I was born in Homdel. Nice to meet you.

Thanks for the compliment. Holmdel Park is one of my favorite places to photograph. I worked at Bell Labs in Holmdel until they broke up the Bell System.

What great textures and patterns. I love the diagonal composition, too, and the pops of yellow. Nicely seen and presented.
