Wouldn't it be great to go back to the 1850-80's for a week Steve, I know you have a great grasp of the people and the history in the area as I do in Paterson and I feel like I would fit right in. I have the whole layout in my head and would love to visit all the brewers and bottlers of the time along with so many other people and places...

Agreed Jim. The Capewell's are in their front yard in this picture from Joe's Flickr page.

Hi Steve,

Regarding the photo of the train wreck - where did it take place? I've spent hours researching local train accidents and have had no luck pinpointing it.

Thanks,

Tina I am working on this, it looked like the old Westville change station but after viewing it several times it could be any on of the following towns in South Jersey. Wenonah,Sewell,Pitman,Glassboro,Haddon Heights,Collingswood. The other picture is unquestionably right near my Great Grandfathers boyhood house.
