Reply to "CNJ Newark Bay Lift Bridge, Bayhead, NJ -- Still In Use?"

I was a month shy of 4 years old when this happened.  We lived about a dozen houses from the 4 track main line.  It is the first time i can remember looking at a newspaper.  I used to use my paper route money to ride the scoot because they took away all the rest of the trains.  After college moved to an apt that had this line in my backyard but by then there was little action on that portion of the old cnj.  It really deserved the title of the big little railroad.
