Had a chance to run over to Orange County yesterday. Heard H08 operating on the Hudson Secondary so I drove down to Warwick and started trying to follow the track back north. Missed H08 because by the time I got back to Campbell Hall both GP38's were back at the yard. Did find the Greycourt team track and observed three UP refrigerated cars with there motors all running. Must have been just dropped off over there. Looked like the same cars that had been getting unloaded from Campbell Hall a few weeks ago. This was my first time railfanning the line. However I had a few questions since I'm still not familiar about railfanning out in Orange County.
1- Is the only local the H08 or do they still operate an H09 in the evening?
2- I hear the dispatcher going as the "Main Line" or the "Southern Tier". Are they both NJ Transit or is one Norfork Southern?
3- Has there been any increase or decrease in customers from the one's that have been previously listed. Like I posted earlier there is a lumber customer on the Maybrook line that has had cars there recently in addition to the previous list.
4- What times does NYSW and H07 usually get up to Campbell Hall around and do all NS and NYSW trains come out of Jersey and access the tier via the Hudson Secondary?
5- What are the best spots to railfan out in Orange County?

I'm sure I'll have more questions but that's a few for now! :-D

SU-99 usually hits campbell hall at midnight. NS H-07 normally waits for the 10:00 hoboken departure to clear suffern most of the time so its up to Campell Hall around 11:30 i wanna say?

What i wanna know is how is the M&NJ going to handle the work at Campbell Hall with just one locomotive.

Just a guess on my part- they'll probably shop the used locomotive market... or perhaps lease a couple of older units.

I think East Penn is sending up a few units...

Would be ironic if ex-NYS&W GP18s ended up doing the work down there.
