Man, I wish I could get one of those signals, the line appears to be abandoned for who knows how long.

Yeah... it's amazing they are still standing as I know it has been between 10 to 15 years since the last train went through there.

Up until a few years ago... most of the signals still had power to them. If you are interested, here is some more info on that... including a few photo's I contributed to this website: http://www.abandonedrails.com/Yates_City_to_Dunfermline

The track here is rarely used, but it appears that a CRNJ station is still here and in excellent shape.

But unfortunately based on the fence around it, it looks like it's for display only

Is the link in the last one correct? Seems to be a bit small, and I certainly don't think I would consider it historic...

The one on the link above is a big one and probably CRNJ heritage, and the previous link looks like a drop off location and not necessarily a station, but I guess I added it anyway.

Sorry about the quality, but modern street view was taken at night and it's impossible to see

This one's in bad disrepair, but I was there today and saw the station sign on it
