Hello all,
I guess I was wrong. This filing certainly threw me for a loop. It is for a line in Freehold, not the former southern secondary.
What I found to be interesting was that the notice talks about the additional rights in NJ. I take it that ICC approval was granted for Ashland operations in the 1980's, but was never discontinued or abandoned.
It will be interesting to see what this operation will serve.
I'll comment more later when I hear back from others.
Until next time.
See ya all later.

Perhaps, if the money is right Conrail would rehab the track. However the filling does say that ASRY will not connect with ASRR, so maybe this is unrelated to the Woodmancie project.

It looks like they are talking about running into the Clayton cement plant thats behind Brockway, off Jerseyville ave.

Last time I checked, there was no switch installed for RBR let alone any trackage. They have stacks of track sections at RBR and they have two switch tracks sitting in trenches in the dirt, but no switch tracks have been installed onto the southern. Eric are you thinking of the DPW? The Red Bank DPW has a yard behind it, that for the past 8 months on and off I have seen NJT MoW trains working on it. There is a connection to the NJCL from this yard, and they have been loading some form of scrap into two gons that are parked on the end of the tracks. They were removed yesterday and replaced with two brandy new NJT gons, not sure whats going on there...

The article said that Conrail had put the 2 switches near the recycling center near the Bergan Place crossing. According to the article the switches were installed Illegally by Conrail.

Eric you live in little silver, go down bergen pl, and check out the switches. They aren't connected to anything. In fact they don't even have switch stands. I pass by this crossing freqently, at least once a week. Since I first saw the switches in July, they have not been installed and I have gone by there this week as well and they are still in said 'trenches'
No good deed goes unpunished.
But what else would they be for?

It looks like the Ashland Railroad has modified there filling, but it hasnt been posted on the STB website yet.
