Tour this Ocean County railroad from Whiting to Tuckerton. Then trace the Philadelphia & Beach Haven Railroad and the Barnegat Railroad. Lakeside cameras visit stations located in Barnegat, Barnegat Light, Beach Haven, Brant Beach and Manahawkin. Various artifacts are also seen. Much still remains of the railroad although it has been gone for over 50 years. Find out why the TRR was granted operating rights over parts of the CNJ's predecessor lines into Toms River and New Lisbon, NJ. View some photographs taken during earlier days and then see the same area in modern times. Sometimes, changes are dramatic. Visit one of the locomotives that had operated over TRR rails. What effect did the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Central Railroad of New Jersey (and predecessor lines) have on the TRR? What about water craft? And, even the PRSL's predecessor, the Camden & Atlantic? Find out what seaside resort was developed by TRR personnel. Did you know that Tuckerton had been a Burlington County town? Where was the largest water tower located, and how much did the TRR charge the Pennsy for a tender full of water? Why did a flatcar use a sail for motive power? Learn about rivalry, competition, war and storms and their effect on the railroad. View some actual rails and ties that remain in place. Also included are some rather unique scenes as the story takes into account not only the past, but the present and the future. Videotaped in 1993 and 1994 on location and from the air.
