NS H-02 - sightings and reports

West through Hackettstown at 10:13 AM with NS 3010.

Did you get a note of how many freight cars in the train? Anything unusual as well?

Thanks for any details.

Is there any chance that BASF will sell their plant to someone else who wants to use it, not scrap it?

6 cars west through Hackettstown. I think they picked up 2 more on the way to Washington at Borealis. Nothing unusual in the mix.

Thanks for the car count. Sounds like business has been better...

3010 plus 12 west through Denville at 1:15 pm

What percentage of M&E's cars go out of NJ via H-02?

On Wednesday, H-02 bought a 31 car rail train from Washington to Port Morris yard for N.J.Transit,using NS 3010 and NS 2570(SD-70), the 2570 went back West to Allentown on Friday. On Sunday, Sept. 27th. there will be a
extra H-02 called to switch out the URHS Boonton yard, the URHS has some coaches that are going out to lease and they have to get them ready to move by Nov.1st.

This past Thursday I observed the H-02 local working over at Royal Distributors in Totowa at about 11:35 AM. When they finished switching cars they headed back to Mt. View and arrived at the station about 12:50 PM. The power was 3010 long hood forward pulling a consist of 6 covered hoppers, 1 spine car, and 3 boxcars.

Badorder, thanks for the info on the NJT Stuff. Saw it in Washington Yard today. On a side note heard the H-65 lost the lead unit coming out of P-Burg heading to Washington.

She dumped her coolant all over the place last weekend, in Dover, probably coming back from getting that taken care of.
