This is a great place to see old engines and cars. It is a working railyard, so the sights change regularly. This was the location of the Midnight Flyer train wreck in 1922. The train was going 90 mph when it went through an open switch at the junction. Four people were killed and 65 injured. Today the railyard is the home of Southern Railroad of New Jersey.
