One of the most southern points of 579 is a town called East Amwell. Aside from its busy neighboring sister, Flemington, East Amwell is more quiet, but it does have a noisy feature, the Black River and Western Railroad station. It was built in 1854 by the Flemington Transportation Co. and used as part of the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1871.
The station was never modernized and when you visit it, it feels like you have stepped back in time. The trains still operate today and were used recently for what is called the Crazy Train Maize during the fall seasons to go pumpkin picking and walk through vast corn mazes. The train picked passengers up from the station and took them to the fields.
The property also includes businesses such as a creamery, lumber yard and feed mill.
