Now a registered landmark, this was a railroad leveling device for freight cars. A barge full of freight cars, about 12 to 16 of them would be brought over from New Jersey via Tug. Depending on the tide, this device would raise or lower the landside tracks (now torn out) so the cars be off-loaded with a small switch engine. Most of the shots in this album were taken with a Samsung cell phone camera. I was just out on a long walk and haven't planned on taking pictures, but then I couldn't resist. The camera phone was the only camera handy at the time.
