Today I explored the Wharton & Northern RR abandoned right of way from Jacobs road to Greenpond road.
It is rather pretty with swamps, wetlands and rock cuts - it is about 1 mile. The ROW is blocked in several places but there are alternate routes used by ATVer's. After coming to the house I back tracked a fork in the trail and went the other way. After awhile I came to a wet area and took another fork in the road. I only explored one of the covered landfill areas - this was Rockaway Townships town dump for many years. Before it was a dump it was a mining area, Green mines I believe. I did not try and find any signs of this.
