How soon can we expect the senior screaming to start?

Run between 9pm and 430am and they'll never know.................

I don't believe you will here much screaming until one runs into the side of the train at a crossing.

. ....at the blinding speed or 6.5 miles per hour. If they want to make some real cash they should rehab the line from lakehurst to windslow and run trains to ac from crestwood village. Forget about bus trips - those old folks would line up to get a direct ride from their front door to atlantic city!

I hate to say this, but the bus is a better alternative, at least for the seniors. The AC rail terminal is quite a ways from the casinos, and would require a transfer to taxi, jitney or bus anyway. A bus from Whiting or Crestwood could get practically right up to the the casino's side or back door, offering a one seat ride-

I was down by Lakehurst the other day and looks like the weeds are coming through. Do any engines come down anymore.

Nope - they can't - they pulled the rail north of the Route 70 Bridge so the furthest they can come down is the run around north of the river bridge that is just north of the Route 70 Bridge. Not to mention that the TRIT is dead now that they ripped out the switch on it south of Union Ave.

June 11th was the last time I saw an engine with several cars at that stop sign near the Rt. 70 overpass. I do wonder why they travel down that far if there aren't any customers unless perhaps there may be a switchover siding?

theres a runaround track there

they were down at lakehurst on july 1st there hasnt been a run since july 1st though so this week hopefully they will be in lakehurst with a big load and an ex con

I am under the impression that most beach replenishment operations consist of dredging sand from the ocean bed back to the beach. Did the article specifically mention a land-based source? That would be a huge number of trucks.

My wife had gone to sea isle city mid May after leaving wildwood. Checking on the beach house we stay at every summer. She and her aunt checked out the beach that had been pretty much destroyed. They ran into some locals and officials who said the sand was coming from inland. Granted, yea that is a crap load of trucks. Maybe it was just to get some sand down to get it going then the dredging boats would come in and do the rest. I dont work for the army corp of engineers.

Here's an article relevant to the dredging. Getting more expensive so maybe onshore sources are becoming more economical.
