If you look to your right going from Main Street to Atlantic over the Little St Bridge, you'll see it. I'm 75. When I was young, we could swim under there. Walk the trestle too hoping no train came. The lake filled in tho so that part of lake Matawan is only small creek now. The kids used to jump off the Little St Bridge, (some more than once). Our presumed off the trestle.

Where’s exactly was this ? Hope everyone is okay !

Do we know what caused the fire yet? 💯%

Great work!

Good work. And thank you from a retired 29-2990. Also I grew up on the block near the tracks near lake. And I think it’s a shame it was left to be destroyed. I know that New Jersey transit owns it and they gave a fight when MONMOUTH county wanted to connect The Henry Hudson Trail.

In case you're not familiar with where in Matawan this occurred, use "42 Park Ave" as a reference on Google Maps, and look at the aerial view. The train trestle is just beyond the usable part of the Henry Hudson Trail where it ends at Stillwell St/Water St.

My moms house was about 500 ft up on 1st street and lake Blvd. thank goodness no wind 🌬️.
