Good stuff, thanks sskid & NJT4149; it seems the flashers & bell were activated ALL night long at the Squankum Rd crossing! The Conrail maintainer pulled up just as I was leaving at 11:45am, and he disabled the crossing system as I walked by. It wasn't his fault, the trouble desk just notified him this morning. The train was stopped just shy of the old south switch (long removed) of the passing siding in southern Farmingdale.....

When I got to Squankum-Yellowbrook Road earlier this afternoon, the crew had just gotten there and left a little while later. Due to the crossing signals being disabled, the crew had to flag the train across. After that, I chased the train to Maxim Road and Lakewood-Farmingdale Road. After that, I went home for a while and then headed back out to catch them heading back towards Browns. Somehow the rain held off just enough so I could get my shots; I guess the railroad gods are real :wink:

Thanks for the vital statistics, gentlemen, much appreciated. Dodging deer droppings, and droplets of sweat (not bad today, but 90 is 90 whichever way you slice it), I'm sure the crew appreciated the a/c in CSX 2798.

As the crew looked passing MP 39.7.....
