Title:
Mountain Park Junk Yard - Holyoke, MA
Description:
Here is a rough video of the Mountain Park Junk Yard which is located in the woods between Route 91 and Route 5 north of Cedar Knob. Mountain Park amusement park used this site up until the late 1950s when construction of Route 91 cut this area off from the rest of the park. So the the junked cars and trucks are isolated to rust away. In addition to the junked autos, there are all kinds of discarded items ranging from bottles to light bulbs to paint cans and machinery. Between this area and Route 91 was the rail bed for the trolley line service that ran from Mountain Park thru Smith's Ferry onto Northampton. The beginning of this rail bed ran from what is now the road that runs by the large boulder east of the blue pavilion and used to cross over the current ski area road near the old ski area kiosk style sign (the one that is now painted brown), the rail bed continued across what is now Route 91 and headed north to Northampton. The best way to visit the junk yard is to park at the Dinosaur Footprints parking area on Route 5, from there cross to the west side of Route 5 and walk north a few hundred feet till you see the brook on your left (it's behind the guard rail), enter the woods to the right side of the brook and travel west through the woods, the junk yard is a few yards from Route 91. (A special thank you to local historian Robert Schwobe for his input to this post) Also for pictures, please visit the Mt. Tom Billy Goat Blog at http://mounttombillygoat.blogspot.com/

 | Old cars in junk yards #2 I recently found this yard and took almost 500 pictures of just the "cool" stuff, convertibles, wagons, and 2 door hardtops. I have never seen so many complete cars in a junk yard before. Some still even have their hubcaps on yet! The story is that it has been closed and untouched for the last 20 years! I know I am partial to Chevys and '58's in particular, but I am trying to take more non-biased pictures for all to enjoy. Subscribe to me if you want to see more of the pictures from this ... |
