While looking for day trips around South Jersey, we found the Woodstown Central Railroad. It’s a tourist train that runs through Southern Gloucester County. Despite not necessarily being big train buffs, we always seem to wind up on trains since they’re a relaxing way to spend a day seeing some scenery that we might not otherwise see. Plus, this one is close to home. Go along for the ride with my photos here.
We’re always looking for things to do in the Fall since it’s one of the best times of the year to be outside. This year we took a Fall foliage ride through the Red Clay Valley on the Wilmington and Western Railroad. Thanks to the terribly warm weather we’ve been having, there wasn’t too much color but it was a fun trip nonetheless. We upgraded to the open air car which gave me a better opportunity to test out my brand new camera, a Nikon D5700. Yes, I finally replaced my trusty D90. I’m very happy with the new camera and there will be MANY more photos to come!
In the meantime, take a look my first photos from the Wilmington and Western Railroad.
And here’s another album of photos that has been languishing on my desktop for way too long. They were taken on on a trip from new Hope To Landsdale, Pennsylvania. The New Hope and Ivyland Railroad is a vintage tourist railroad. For Lansdale’s Founders Day they took the antique steam locomotive and passenger cars out onto SEPTA’s tracks. After a stop at SEPTA’s Warminster station we arrived in Lansdale to enjoy the festivities before heading back to New Hope aboard the train. You can check out the photos here.
