Hi Pam, Thank you for the information. I've got 11 families that had their address recorded as "Railroad Ave." I know the location well, since I used to help the railroad men turn the engines around on the old turntable, which you had to push, it was not mechanical. For the life of me, I can't recall many houses on that road. It was not paved, I don't think, until they built Turntable Junction. It must have made a left turn when down by the other tracks that went towards Bodine's Lumber Yard off Mine St. Is it possible that when War II broke out, the foundry had to expand and they took down some of those houses? I don't believe there are 10 or so houses on Fulper Road today? I lived on Park Ave. & Bonnell St. until the early 1950s, when I went off to college, got married, lived elsewhere for a time before moving to Delaware Tp. early in 1970, so I know my way around Flemington - at least until they started to mess with all the vacant land, where we used to play when kids! Again, thanks for the tip, I did think it had to parallel one of the railroad tracks in town. By the way, there were 3 different R.R.s at one time - the Lehigh Valley; Central R. R. and the Penn, which bought out the Flemington R. R. which ran down to Ringoes and Lambertville.

It might now be Fulper Road. There is an old railroad station that was turned into a restaurant about 10 years ago for a short time, that was on the corner of Main Street. So heading south from the circle, you pass Grant Street on your left, then Church Street, then cross over the old railroad tracks now used by the Black River & Western Railroad, and turn left on to Fulper Road. My mother-in-law says that was Railroad Avenue when she was a girl. She grew up on Dewey Avenue which is off Mine Street, a few blocks away. She is 93 years old and a gold mine of information!

It lists about 10 families. Does anyone know what that street is called today. Both of my map programs (one is MapQuest) and Google could not give me a hit! And my memory does not come up with anything. Thank you for a positive answer!
