Though not officially “published” on my website, I do have two articles for Canada:

If you have anything you’d like to contribute to Canada, let me know! Hopefully I will get around to adding a link to Canada on my homepage soon!

Sorry I couldn’t write back sooner. The Barnegat branch went roughly parallel to Route 9 through several towns including Forked River and Waretown. It was more or less out of service by the 70s but ran an occasional train from what I understand and remained intact up to the Oyster Creek nuclear facility. Conrail abandoned the southern portion of it by the late 70s and there was service to a town called Pinewald not far from Toms River. It is all gone now except for the portion by the lumber yard and Rt. 37. I used to visit my grandparents in Forked River growing up and remember the tracks there. I never saw a train though. This was an old CNJ line as I guess is obvious and used to host passenger service years ago.
Considering how built up it got in that area you would think they might have used it now.
