Oh hello everyone, I live near Hilside NJ and I noticed that on the Raritan line, there are an unusual amount of freight trains, with movements nearly daily, and trains from Norfolk Southern which appears to be based in the southern part of the United States. I was wondering why these strange trains were running there, and what cargo was moved on this line, is it part of the Chemical Coast line which casual google searching seemed to suggest, or is there a Raritan connection to some other freight line that I am not aware of.
Another question, by the Newark airport, there appears to e a huge rail yard, which yard is it, and do they just transport things fro the nearby shipyard, or do they send cargo to other places, and is it connected to the Northeast Corridor by any way, or are they separate yet parallel connections. Thank you all in advance for the help!
