Ann and I rode the Olde Timey train at Allaire State Park in New Jersey. We were the only ones there without small children.

At $3.00 for a 15 minute ride, it made the N train seem like a bargain!

The nearby Olde Timey Village had the usual bakeries, blacksmith shops and (defunct) mills. It was all once part of James P. Allaire‘s foundry. He had another one in lower Manhattan — there’s a housing project there now.
