I have been trying to find a good list anywhere that will help me find this information...

but what NS trains use the Shared Assets Lehigh Line through New Jersey?

Preferably their Train Symbol, Departure and Destination Location, and how often each train runs.

Can anybody help me out with any information please?

Hello,

I'm new to railfanning and was wondering what would be a good time to see Norfolk Southerns either at the Croxton Yard or the Kearny. I've randomly seen a few around 7-715am.

Thanks!

Croxton would be anytime, as engines sit there waiting to be assigned to whatever. But I would'nt recommend being there as the police patrol there often. Same with Kearny. Better places would be Union or Bound Brook, where its legal. Trains seen entering/leaving Croxton:

20E: ~10am
20K: ~11pm
20W: ~5pm
211: ~11am Saturdays, 4am Tue-Fri
212: ~1pm
21M: ~7am
23Z: ~midnight
24Z: ~8pm
25R: ~9pm
32A: ~10pm
33K: ~2pm

Does anyone know if Norfolk Southerns come through the Main/Bergen county line specifically in Clifton? RailPictures.net shows a NS in Clifton from two weeks ago.

Thanks! :-D
