The Capoolong Creek Trail

By Jack and Louie

The Capoolong Creek Trail is located in between Pittstown, Clinton, and Franklin Township, NJ. It was once a railroad. There were stations in Easton, New York, and Newark. Peaches were one of the main things delivered. An insect infestation destroyed many of the peach trees, and the railroad started to lose business. Soon the railroad lost all of its business, so about 100 men tore down the railroad. Some pieces are still here today.

Introduction

This is a map of the Capoolong Creek trail

This is coal.

These are rocks that fell from the railroad train.

Its made out of iron, a type of metal.

This is a railroad tie from the track.

This is a piece of the railroad track.

People ripped the foundation out two years ago.

This is where the station was.

In the 1900’s a cloud of insects ruined many crops, causing the railroad to have less service.

Peaches, milk, and tomatoes were delivered on this train track.

Since no one used the railroad track it was ripped away.

This was ripped out of the old train track.

A sign that describes the railroad’s history.

Now the trail is used by bikers and horseback riders.

Louie and Jack go on the trail all the time. They also go in the water.

Capoolong Creek trail is an epic and beautiful site.
