I had been to New Jersey once. That was 2013 and the trip really did not go as planned. It was cloudy and I did a poor job of finding trains. With just two photos taken, I left for New York as I had pretty much given up the chance to get any decent photos that I would be happy within New Jersey. I have a personal goal of getting to as many different states as I can and photograph trains. But it seemed my chances for checking “The Garden State” off the list had failed.
