Abandoned train at Liberty Village, Flemington, NJ

[rgerhardtembarq]

THIS IS NOT ABANDON!

[pierrerabbit]

The cars are being stored, and they are filled with plastic pellets. The customer who receives the cars is located 1/4 mile from this location. The customer manufacturers plastic bags.

[TheCSXfan12]

Those grain cars are still in use,you know how?The weels are shiny and not rusty,if they were not in use the weels would be rusty.

[AGDemo]

Can I buy the yellow one for scrap??

[HardRockCafeNJ1992]

That yellow flat car with the crain at the end, Was used to lay down the tracks when they needed to be repaired, but this was taking out of service once they got a rail car that did more then just lay down rails. this was supossed to be restored a few years ago but they forgot all about it, so now it just sits there :(

[TheManInDboX]

Those tracks are still live, they run tours on them a few times a year in the summer, the white cars are still used although they are not used often, i know they have been moved a few times, they are stored there, they have been stored there for as long as i have known about them, roughly 15 years.

[CSXandSpartanfan33]

I hate old tracks being abandoned it is sad

[caching60098]

The white cars are used to haul small plastic pellets. They are sucked up from the top by a large hose. I dont't believe they are abandoned. The RR's will sometimes park old rail cars on tracks for tax reasons.

OddlyEnt....We the people, like kids that have an unlimited curiousity, like to explore. We mean no harm. You are quite strange, though...quite strange indeed!

[charlieb640]

@caching60098 Loaded from the top and unloaded via tubes in the bottom

[killzone2productions]

good to see some people know how to handle stupid trolls over the internet, good job livardo, fuck these fags.

[ssir6]

lol

[BoyScout1960]

Closed-top Hopper Cars --which these are-- are used to haul grain.

Look at the condition of the tracks. If they're shiny, these cars are obviously not abandoned.

[charlieb640]

@BoyScout1960 as well as plastic, cement, talc, borax, etc, etc, etc. Basically any bulk material that should not get wet

[97trainman]

The thing you said was an engine is really a crane used to lay track.

[bill07016]

OddlyEntertaining why don't you get a job with a real railroad and not just be a Volunteer?

[AviationMetalSmith]

The train doesn't look abandoned to me. Those covered hoppers are probably full of cargo, just waiting to be trucked to a plant.

Black River and Western , IIRC, does some tourist business in the summer, and it may seem abandoned during the winter months, but it's not.

[prestonlewis]

If I leave my car in a parking lot for a few years, you're welcome to climb on it. If you don't want your rolling stock climbed on, then put it behind a fence somewhere, not next to a mall. Jeez, railroad employee idiot.

[railfreek]

If the Black River is so worried about tresspassers why don't they store the cars in their yard in Ringos? Fact is the railroad doesn't take care of anything it owns in my opinion. They stored the #60 out all winter without even a stack cover. If I were there I'd probably climb on the cars to take a look. It hasn't moved in years. He's not touching the covered hoppers

[Railrodder]

Interesting! I am a volunteer for a railway museum in eastern Ontario. As long as there is no active equipment on our tracks, we have no problem with people exploring the tracks and equipment. We do keep watch for people about to get into an unsafe situation!

[Kleman09]

Actualy some of these cars are very much active, just in storage for now.

[Sig19]

You people are weird, he was filming an abandoned train, he wasn't vandalizing anything. sheesh

[Lasselkv28]

I Would love to see the engine bay in that thing :-)

Great video by the way

[MichaelCShea]

That's an excellent thought process - "Officer, it's ok - the other kids were doing it, and we're right next to the mall." That will definitely hold up in court.

[livardo]

Yeah, I'm sure they're setting up SWAT teams to come and arrest me for this heinous crime. If you don't enjoy the video, don't be a douchebag and quit commenting.

[MichaelCShea]

This video is nothing but evidence of trespassing on railroad property. Since the BR&W is a Class III common carrier railroad this is considered a federal offense. Youre lucky you werent thrown off the property or arrested. Railroads are not public jungle-gyms for anybody with a video camera and an interest in trains.

[livardo]

oh relax hardass.. they were 40 yards from the mall and the kids were doing the same thing (I had to wait until they left).

[OddlyEntertaining]

So you are telling me it is perfectly fine to go jump on your car? What if I was to go to your house and just start scaling up a wall? If I saw somebody else do it does it make it right for me?

I know you keep saying " If you don't enjoy the video don't leave comments" But the truth of the matter is, you don't own any of the equipment you film or climb on, nor do you own the property that it sits on. And as was posted trespassing on any railroad property is a federal offense.

[livardo]

This is getting old. This particular train was in the middle of a mall. No signs posted, and it was being climbed on but everyone in the presence of mall personel. Do you see me sneaking around in the middle of dark? Have a Coke and a smile

[OddlyEntertaining]

As a volunteer for the railroad you trespassed on I don't have any problem with people filming from the ground, but walking on tracks or climbing on the equipment I have a problem with.

So if you don't have any signs on your car and I see it in a parking lot it is alright for me to climb on it?

Why do you think it is fine to climb on somebody Else's property?

[livardo]

You're a volunteer for this particular railroad? You better tell them to move the tracks that cut accross the ENTRANCE of the mall somewhere else, lest you don't want people trespassing on them. God forbid someone tries to document something old and interesting. My apologies your excelency, from the bottom of my heart, I promise not to do it again.

[WhopBobbaLuBop]

@livardo Geez, you're a dickhead!

[livardo]

@WhopBobbaLuBop : only sometimes and only figuratively my friend. I assure you the shape of my head is nothing like a dick!

[Verbeke1992]

You forgot to mention that the car is in the back of the parking lot, rusting away and covered in plants...

[riverlifeva]

@OddlyEntertaining as someone who cleans up the trash Enginers throw all over the tracks in my town ,I say FUCK YOU;)

[OddlyEntertaining]

@riverlifeva If you properly used a spell checker before that post I might take it more seriously.  I have yet to see any engineers throwing trash on the ROW. Not saying it doesn't happen, just saying I never saw it. I do however see plenty of trespassers walking on the ROW leaving behind trash.

[riverlifeva]

@OddlyEntertaining Oh wheel , you took it seriously enough to respond . haha spell check is for fakes. have fun working on the railroad;) haha that was oddly entertaining .

[whosuckstoday]

@OddlyEntertaining stfu idiot. cars and trains are not the same. if it was an abandoned car, yes it'd be fine. now stfu.

[OddlyEntertaining]

@whosuckstoday The trains aren't abandoned you moron. Thus he is climbing on private property.

[whosuckstoday]

@OddlyEntertaining close enough you fuck. gtfo you pencil pushing POS.

[Jamersonde]

Were I'm at, there is a TP&W locomotive & an open-top grain car that have been sitting in a short line railroad switch yard for months. There's also another grain car in the same yard that's been there for over a year. All three are being stored for use at a later date, i assume. I hope they weren't abandoned (especially the locomotive)!

[ReagonProductions]

Black River & Western Railroad works in Flemington, NJ ...that explains the boom car.

[Neonspinnazz30]

Yeah, the hoppers are in storage until they're needed again. They are in way too good in condition. The boom car on the other hand, forgotten...

[67tr876]

o i saw that but i did not want to go in i will next time

[sgprailfan]

The hopper cars (big white ones) are not abandoned they are just, I don't know what the word is, storage I guess until they are needed at a plant or the leasing company wants them else where. The RR does not need the crane anymore so they have not maintained it, there is a biger one in Ringoes that I have heard works.

[docsavage408]

Cool stuff I really liked the boom car.

[razorDC6]

i past there every day

[TrainManTy]

I don't think those WLPX covered hoppers are abandoned... They're too modern to just be left out in the woods. They're owned by a leasing company, who wouldn't just abandon them like that.

[aajoeyjo]

Call somebody. NJ Transit would be a good start. That's a crime magnet. Especially if it's wide open.
