Anybody know what kind of structure was at West End Hampton during the later years of the CNJ/early Conrail? A shed or trailer is my guess.

Would love to see a picture of it if anybody has one. Same thing for Valley Station, which I believe was closed in the 1930s. Never have seen a picture of that one.

I'm guessing Asbury Graphite took their cars at the siding at Ludlow-Asbury station?

There are still rails in the pavement on Railroad Avenue (north side of CNJ mainline) in Hampton. Anybody know what industry/siding this was?

Has anybody tried walking the roadbed from the LV connection out by Kennedy's to where the line would have crossed 78? I imagine it's pretty well overgrown, but have always wanted to check the area out.

Thanks,
Frank
