  • Transportation Trips, Excursions, Special Journeys, Outings, Tours, and Milestones In, To, from Or Through New Jersey
    TRANSPORTATION TRIPS, EXCURSIONS, SPECIAL JOURNEYS, OUTINGS, TOURS, AND MILESTONES IN, TO, FROM OR THROUGH NEW JERSEY Bill McKelvey, Editor, Updated to Mon., Mar. 8, 2021 INTRODUCTION This is a reference work which we hope will be useful to historians and researchers. For those researchers wanting to do a deeper dive into the history of a particular event or series of events, copious resources are given for most of the fantrips, excursions, special moves, etc. in this compilation. You may find it much easier to search for the RR, event, city, etc. you are interested in than to read the entire document. We also think it will provide interesting, educational, and sometimes entertaining reading. Perhaps it will give ideas to future fantrip or excursion leaders for trips which may still be possible. In any such work like this there is always the question of what to include or exclude or where to draw the line. Our first thought was to limit this work to railfan excursions, but that soon got broadened to include rail specials for the general public and officials, special moves, trolley trips, bus outings, waterway and canal journeys, etc. The focus has been on such trips which operated within NJ; from NJ; into NJ from other states; or, passed through NJ. We have excluded regularly scheduled tourist type rides, automobile journeys, air trips, amusement park rides, etc. NOTE: Since many of the following items were taken from promotional literature we can not guarantee that each and every trip was actually operated. Early on the railways explored and promoted special journeys for the public as a way to improve their bottom line.

Appendix ………………………………...….50 Executive Summary The Barnegat Bay-Little Egg Harbor (BB-LEH) estuarine system located along the eastern shoreline of Ocean County, New Jersey contains ~ 75% of New Jersey’s known seagrass habitat (Lathrop et al. 2001). Eelgrass (Zostera marina) is the dominant species while widgeongrass (Ruppia maritima) is also common in lower salinity and shallow regions of the BB-LEH. An estuary wide survey was conducted in the summer of 2009 to measure the current extant of seagrass habitat across the BB-LEH system. Aerial imagery collected during the months of July and August 2009 was interpreted and mapped using an object oriented image analysis techniques, similar to techniques used in the 2003 mapping survey. A boat-based in situ dataset was collected concurrently with the aerial photography to assist the image interpretation and for an independent accuracy assessment. Comparison of the classified seagrass presence/absence map and the in situ validation dataset showed an overall thematic map accuracy of 87% while the four class seagrass density map (absent, sparse, moderate, dense seagrass cover) has an overall accuracy of 70%. Results of this work indicate that the overall amount of seagrass beds were similar in 2009 as compared to 2003 (5,122 ha in 2003 vs. 5,260 ha in 2009).

  • Volume 29 No. 1 Spring 2018
    MAHS Celebrates Its 30th Anniversary By Steven Anthony and James Smailes AHS, the Maritime Archaeological and Historical Society, is celebrating Mits thirtieth anniversary in 2018. Throughout the past 30 years MAHS has been devoted to training recreational divers in the science and techniques of maritime archaeology, and sharing the fun and excitement of exploring historic shipwrecks and other submerged cultural resources with fellow divers throughout the world. Back in 1986, a few wreck divers from a Washington DC area scuba club began studying the history of the sunken vessels they were exploring in the Chesapeake Bay. What ship was it? Where did it come from? How did it end up on the ocean floor? These divers recognized the challenges presented by this type of shipwreck study and came up with a solution. They began to study underwater archaeology, talking to local MAHS volunteer divers documenting the Pickles Reef Barrel Wreck in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. Photo by D. Knepper. historians and archaeologists, and inviting them to collaborate on local shipwreck projects. commitment to the protection and stewardship of The divers also saw the value of providing trained historic shipwrecks should be a fundamental part of the volunteers to assist the Maryland Maritime Archaeology training. The idea caught on, and in 1988 MAHS was Program operated under the direction of Dr. Susan created. Langley, Maryland State Underwater Archaeologist. MAHS is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) tax-exempt Their goal was to provide the State with a cadre of educational organization committed to enhancing public recreational scuba divers with training in the science of awareness and appreciation of historic shipwrecks and maritime archaeology to document and preserve the the process of maritime archaeology.

  • Status of Organic Pollutants in Surface Sediments of Barnegat Bay-Little
    Status of Organic Pollutants in Surface Sediments of Barnegat Bay-Little Egg Harbor Estuary, New Jersey, USA C.H. Vane*1, I. Harrison1, A.W. Kim1, V. Moss-Hayes1, B.P. Vickers1, B. P. Horton2 1British Geological Survey, Kingsley Dunham Centre, Keyworth, Nottingham, NG12 5GG, UK 2Department of Earth and Environmental Science, University of Pennsylvania, 240 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104, USA *Corresponding author. Tel+44 (0)115 936 3017; fax+44 (0)115 936 3460. E-mail address: [email protected] Numerous surveys have demonstrated that diffuse pollution from urban-residential run-off and industrial discharges can adversely impact salt marsh and tidal creek sediment quality (Barrett & McBrien, 2006; Fox et al., 2001; Iannuzzi et al., 1995; Long et al., 1995; Sanger et al., 2004; White et al., 2005). The impact of shipping activities, including major discharge of fuel oil onto salt marshes, has also been reported (White et al., 2005). However, few studies have assessed organic pollution accumulating in salt marshes with watersheds that are mainly comprised of forests and wetlands but which have major residential areas located off-shore of the mainland. The salt marshes of Barnegat Bay-Little Egg Harbor Estuary, southeast New Jersey represent one such geographical setting (Fig .1). The shallow (1- 7 m), narrow (3-9 mile) bay is separated from the Atlantic Ocean by a back barrier island complex (Long Beach Island) which is heavily developed and a major area of tourism (Fig. 1). The salt marshes are protected and managed as part of the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge, this comprises 186 km2 of wetlands and 145 km2 of salt marshes and has a mixed pattern of watershed land use such as forestry (45.9 %), wetlands (25.2 %), urban/residential (19.5 %) and agricultural (6.6 %).
