Every so often a storm will reveal what use to be a supply railroad along the Delaware Bay in NJ. A few years ago the sand was eroded enough to capture the tracks. Pretty weird to experience

That's great, thanks! I remember old barracks 170. There was a couple guard towers down by the ocean, left over from WW2, we had to do night 'guard duty' in them, looking out for 'Nazi subs', scared hell of me, 18 years old, my M1 rifle, farm kid, looking out over that black water for 4 hours! Damn, I'd do it all again!!!
