South Jersey Rail Scene: 1954-1974

[@mybadluckcharm]

I'd only ever read of P-RSL a ½-handful of times, it's really nice to sse a great number of shots of all kinds showing some of its operations - it's a nice little line (or was...)! Their GP38s are interesting, if you look at 40:08, you can better see that the cab's center part is extended out of the face of the cab, a bit. What was that about?

Great collection and presentation! One minor thing: The Manahawkin station was on the Tuckerton Railroad. CNJ never went south of Barnegat.

These shots are fantastic, photos look like they could have been taken yesterday

back when the cape may rescue squad was alive, we had a call to the magnesite plant, a worked was injured in one of the tubes, we both did want to get in the tube, coworkers extracted him, and we took him to burdette.

On the Brown tower track diagram, I think that the Clementon branch with the double track curve is upper center, and the single track branch, far right, goes to Grenloch. Originally, both branches crossed the West Jersey & Seashore RR to get to their own waterfront terminals.

I don't believe it!! Pictures from Forked River and along the Barnegat Branch!!! I've had such a hard time trying to find pictures of that line! Thank you so much for uploading!

I didn't know the PATCO was the same gauge as PRSL/Conrail

The guys on the P-RSL didn't call it a caboose. They called it a Hack. Great photos. Brings back memories. But I'm really getting old now. I'll be 80 on my next birthday, if I live to see it.

I thought it was called a cabin car, same as the PRR.

The old PRR men on the Atantic District called a Hack also.
