The NJ Transit station though, while modern, is in a weird location = behind a shopping center. You can also get to the NJ Transit Atlantic City Line by walking over (close walk, at street level) from the Trenton Amtrak/NJ Transit station to the NJ Transit River Line (kind of a diesel-powered inter-urban light rail train that runs south, through nice towns, from Trenton down to Camden) where you would transfer to the Atlantic City Line at Pennsauken and go one stop east to Cherry Hill.

    Live walking distance from the old O&W station. This particular line used to go through Sussex County , NJ and into Scranton, PA. The building was sold to a real estate developer in the late aught’s I think, he promised a lovely renewal at a town meeting (never delivered obviously). Then he kept not paying the taxes and finally the developer torched the place for insurance purposes. The last I heard he went to jail for nonpayment of taxes, who knows if he actually served any time. The second station was decommissioned in 1983, my husband rode that line on its last trip. It was turned into the library and it’s an absolutely lovely library. I’m glad you enjoyed my town 🙂

    I worked at Ingersoll-Rand in Phillipsburg in the 1980's; I think there were approx. 1000 employees. Ingersoll Rand started there around 1903, and peak employment at the IR Phillipsburg site was around 5000 in the mid 20th century. This may help explain the presence of the train station. Based on my reading, the old IR site has been redeveloped, primarily into warehousing.

    The Joseph Smith Memorial Building is an office building for the Mormon church. It was originally built in 1911 as the Hotel Utah. My recollection is that it closed in the 1980s. One interesting thing you might have been interested in, between Helper and Provo, just before you descend into the valley where Provo is, used to be the town of Thistle. Thistle was largely a railroad town, it had the "helper" engines to help with going towards Helper. In 1983 there was a major landslide, which blocked a creek and -- with the melting snow from the mountains, quickly formed a lake that engulfed the town of Thistle and the railroad lines. You can still see some of the foundations of the building and the tracks were rerouted around the lake, with a new tunnel built.
