THE GARDEN STATE has a wide va- riety of rail activity compressed into a small area. Main line action can be found with the lines of Nor- folk Southern and CSX converg- ing into Conrail Shared Assets. Short lines are scattered through- out the state.
Growing up in New Jersey, I have a soft spot for the state’s rail- roads, especially those in the southern part of the state. Recent- ly I’ve had the opportunity to vis- it familiar places with a new chal- lenge: taking night photos. Here are a few of my favorites that I’ve taken during the fall of 2012.
