Last season CMSL operated for the first few weekends with the CNJ Geep on the North end to take care of any rusty rail. Even in PRSL days there were issues with the Budd cars activating crossing signals, even after a long weekend with no service. I have no idea what plans CMSL has for this season, however.

The Santa Trains Schedules are posted today, saw in in a facebook advert as I am friends with CMSL. Doesn't seem like they are going to have a lot of time to advertise for the trains posting the schedules so late.

Story in the Press this past Sunday regarding Tony's never ending optimism and the future of operations. Nice to see that CMSL is still getting some publicity and hope this leads to another record Santa season.
"A.C. “Tony” Macrie thought 30 years ago that he could run a viable private railroad company in Atlantic and Cape May counties, and he still thinks he can."

Of course they had to mention Voll the Troll in the story as well.

I just read the artical and wonder if the guys that stole the track plates ever had a trial. Tjhey should be sentanced to hard labor, buying the parts and fixing the track that they ruined. That would be fair, rignt?

I'm sure it will be the railroad's fault for just having those tracks there for all to steal from.

That would be fair, rignt?Someone may have the actual knowledge as to whether a trial took place or is scheduled. However, it should be noted that trails are relatively rare, as most criminal matters are settled in a plea bargain without any trial.

Sometimes I wonder if Mr. Von Roll is quietly applauding the rail thieves since that was a contributing factor for CMSL not running trains to Cape May City this year. Just my cynical, unscientific, humble opinion. BTW, the speeders @ Cape May City were, IMHO, a good move by the railroad to "show the flag."
If Boston to Cape Cod rail service occurs in 2012 I will eat a jelly doughnut dipped in tomato sauce.
Mr Voll, I stand corrected, not Von Roll. don't know why I post it that way, anyway, it's true some people are just anti-rail, plain and simple. Shame on the railway for being there before these elistists even came into existence!

von Troll may have silently cheered the vandals on? No, never, not possible. No career professional politician would ever stoop that low. Or would they---?

Or would they---?Wellll, the thieves WERE from Lower Township..... I'm going to guess that the party who pled was the junkyard owner who may have had a (otherwise) legitimate business.

I read where they are going to remove some track to Beasleys Point power plant(sadly) and put a gas pipeline in its place.Maybe they can use the ties and rails that they remove to improve some of the track from Tuckahoe to Cape May.

With all the investment that they've put into this line in the last year or so (welding of rail, new crossing protection, new switch at Milmay, etc.), let's hope they continue to reap the benefit of those upgrades for as long as possible in the future.
