Expect delays! Old railroad line once popular now forgotten. The tracks have mature trees interspaced, growing all around. Offers a beautiful view of Route 30, a main thoroughfare to the shore & Atlantic City.

After dropping off my friend at the airport, I drove home via Route 30. I decided to waymark this but was beaten to it as confirmed by wireless internet! Still wanting to grab some pictures, I scaled the sides and walked up on top of the trestle. Low and behold, it is abandoned. Trees grow through the tracks and limbs are strewn around the track. Judging by the sizes of the trees growing through the tracks, this bridge has been abandoned for some time. it was pretty cool walking around up there, getting a bird's eye view of the east and westbound traffic.
