Album Info:For much of its stretch the Chemical Coast runs along side the NJ Turnpike and through industrial areas. Points of access and good scenery are very much limited. Yet, the line does host a wide variety of power and crosses near or over several bodies of water. This provided an unexpected opportunity to capture nice photos.
