Central Railroad of New Jersey Freight Station

Okay kiddo, let me explain!

You know how sometimes you see big trains on tracks, carrying lots of things like food or toys? Well, those trains need to go somewhere to pick up and drop off all those things.

In New Jersey a long time ago, there was a place called the Central Railroad of New Jersey. They had a special building called a freight station where trains could go to drop off and pick up those things like food or toys.

This building was really big and had lots of different areas for different types of items. There was a section for fruit, a section for coal, and even a section for animals.

But over time, the Central Railroad of New Jersey wasn't used as much and the building wasn't needed anymore. So, now people can go see it and learn about its history.

So, in short, the Central Railroad of New Jersey freight station was a big building where trains used to go to drop off and pick up things, but it is no longer in use.
