Album Info:Throughout the Garden State, freight and express stations stand along many current and former rail lines. Each holds history and is a remaining relic of the era when railroads, not trucking companies were the specialists in less-than-carload (LCL) or less-than-truckload (LTL) freight and express shipments.
