No, they at least go to Barrington every day to serve International Paper which years ago was Weyerhaeuser.

Ooooh wait I misread that last part sorry.
The crossing work could be mandated by the DOT. Didn’t they also do a lot of upgrades on the grenloch line despite only seeing a couple trains a week? Noticed in general they do a lot better on crossing upgrades and maintenance than Conrail North Jersey.

I think the Grenloch is also a M thru F operation. International Paper has a former Weyerhaeuser plant there too plus Amoroso’s.

Most of those new crossings down south were done with a state grant about a decade ago if I remember reading right.

"The famous Norfolk and Western 611 ran excursions for the last time at Strasburg on Memorial Day before departing back to home in Virginia. We will see the big steamer shove into the station and then twice in each direction at the next crossing, Ebenshade Road.
Conrail Shared Assets picked up the long dormant empty coal train from Deepwater and take it to the SRNJ in Winslow to be stored. Scenes of it include locations from Westville, Magnolia and Winslow.
Also in the mix are scenes of SMS Rail Lines having engines moved by Conrail Shared Assets including switcher #104 and ex-PRSL GP38, 2003.
Really mixing it up are a few scenes of Amtrak with a Harry Potter themed wrap of engine #653, a light engine move of a GP38-3, and an Acela flying by.
Topping off the movie will be a few clips of Cape May Seashore Lines moving freight, a Union Pacific visitor, and the latest CSX heritage unit, the Baltimore & Ohio 1827."

Just saw the longest train I ever saw going to Pennsville at 130p today. Three engines and 140 cars. Really backed up the road crossings.

Probably the CA11. That’s a big train for them which occasionally does happen. Sounds like you were in Woodbury when you saw it?

Sounds like you were in Woodbury when you saw it?West Deptford, Grove Ave. What struck me as odd was that it was headed in the opposite direction of what it usually does. It certainly looked like CA11. Maybe something to do with the floods up north?

Ok. I was told they were but I’m not 100 percent sure if they are. Weird they’d get two more engines when they only ever use 2-3 at one time. PRSL 2000 being there brings the gp38 count to 4. Wonder if it’ll replace 1449.
