South Toms River Silos

  • 03/09/2009

Yet something else that was up the road from me my whole life and I never knew about. These old silos can be found in the woods of South Toms River. They’re in pretty good shape and there are quite a few of them. I wonder why there’s...

Ashley Planes & Powerhouse Ruins

  • 01/27/2009

Gravity makes trains sad. On some mountainsides, a train simply couldn’t get the speed or power needed to make it up the side. In the Ashley area, three huge planes (as in inclined plane, not airplane) were built to get freight cars up the mountain. Small cars, or...

Carbondale Mine Fires & Abandoned Factory

  • 10/27/2008

I had read on a number of online forums that Carbondale had 3 fires burning underneath it at once. Having already been to both Centralia and Laurel Run, I was quite interested to check it out. The results were pretty disappointing, but at least I did find a...

Vineland Speedway

  • 01/27/2008

The “Cannonball” Tunnel

  • 01/27/2008

I heard about an old railroad tunnel not too far from my house – about 10-15 minutes away. I’m used to having to go 2+ hours to find such things, and now I’m surrounded by them, it seems. The “Cannonball” was a train that ran from Wilkes-Barre to...

Rocky Glen Park

  • 11/26/2007

Rocky Glen opened in 1885 and ran until 1987. A year later it was auctioned off, but not much was done with it. The park lay abandoned for a few years when a fire broke out in 1994, destroying much of the rollercoaster. The coaster was completely demolished...

Concrete City

  • 10/26/2007

This is somewhere I’ve been meaning to get to for quite some time now. While going for some job interviews in the area, I found out it was just a few miles down the road. I looked for the historical marker on the side of the road and...
