Just a couple of quick questions for Wolf......
Have the C&S guys updated your computer screens in Mt. Laurel yet to show the new track, albeit, OOS?
Also, since CP Bound Brook is in service, and the old signal shed having been removed, do your screens show the new crossovers yet?
I'm curious too when they will place the new track 1 in service for local traffic. I believe there are two new switches that will need to be removed from the current track single (soon to be track 2) and new switches installed in the new track 1.
( I know the switches as Hall's Warehouse (near MP 25 +/-) and Buffalo Tanks (near MP 29.5? +/-). What they are called today, I'm not sure. )
Anyway, it has been fun watching the line get double tracked again. I remember when the old track came out in the mid 80's. I thought it was a mistake then. I can't believe it took so long to be restored.
Well, that's all for now folks,
See ya' all later............
1.No, well the new stuff is there but its hidden, at CP-Valley the two new switches for the greenville branches are hidden, the numbers skip and when they work on them they flash even though theres nothing there on my board, same for CP-Bound Brook the new switch is hidden.
2. sorta. there always were two crossovers at CP Bound Brook and a switch for the lead to NJT. Now with this weekends work done there are two crossovers a switch for NJT AND a switch for the Port Reading Sec.
3. There are two switches on the Single track that need to be put on #1 track Break Bulk at 29.4 and Halls at 25.1. Also at 25.0 a new switch will be added for Epislon plastic, who is served off the long lead on the north side of the main.
4. "new" CP-Potter looks like its almost ready to go, and since the working limits shifed west to the Oak Tree rd over pass, that part of the new track is ready to go
