CR on the Southern Secondary

Since you mentioned it, I opted for a wet and cold shot at Pinebrook Road. And boy was it cold . . .

Train was at Woodhaven as of this morning. Apparently the engine was off, so I don’t know when they will head east.

Train had its Lights Off in Lakewood as of an Hour ago. Ready to head back to Brown's yard whenever they pick it up as they have already drilled Woodhaven

The train should be departing Lakewood shortly for Browns

The next week there will be a contractor on the Southern Sec measuring for Plate F clearance.

A daylight return? Sounds like an excuse to head over to the Auction!

The train should be near Southern Howell now

What is "Plate F clearance?"

SA-91 last heard in Red Bank 1:07 PM. Not sure if they are still there.

I didn't know either but found this:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loading_g ... th_America

Plate F is 17' height. The only Height clearances in question are:
Tinton Ave.
GS Parkway (4)
US Navy rail
US Navy Esperance Rd.
NJ 33/34
NJ 70
Any possibly low hanging utility wires

The only other consideration is turn radius. There are to large curves, Eatontown and South Lakewood. Some of the stub sidings may also have tight radius turns.

Perhaps the contractor is being hired for track geometry as well as Plate F clearances? Why now?

Just a guess that the lumber customer wants to be able to receive some wood in Plate F boxcars
