Re: Delaware and Raritan River Railroad-General Discussion

They made the pick up at Extech around 830. But unfortunately they pulled all the way past the switch and reversed to pickup the car on their hind end so no opportunity for a picture. Bummer I made the hour long trip for nothing.

Thanks for the info. I may just give it a try tomorrow and hope the Extech car gets pulled. Also, I assume they would pull the car on their way down to Woodhaven, not after. Would that be correct?

I saw on a FB group that Extech received a car on Friday. Would it be likely to get pulled out next time RB-1 runs which I assume would be Tuesday? Also where and when is RB-1 starting from these days? I’d like to catch them pulling the car from Extech but I have no experience at all with this opera...

It’s more than double that actually. I got 13 cents a pound for #1 steel a few weeks ago which comes out to $13/100lb

The high side hoppers are for new customer Yanuzzi Materials. They ship out recycled building materials and they’re located in Heller Park. To get there RC has the cross the mill brook trestle which hasn’t seen a train in probably 20 years. In less six months since taking over Heller Park from Conra...

Went by Edison today and the Shundler property has been demolished and replaced with another distribution warehouse. So any chance of that branch seeing service again is gone. As for Heller Park, I do remember seeing RCRY engines switching out there but also saw Conrail as well so I don't how exactl...

Do they still run south to winslow hot mix? I was there last summer and the area looked pretty overgrown like it hadn't been used in long time.

Wow this is really great to hear. Was always wondering when this would finally happen given that a smaller local company could a better job of interacting and serving local customers. Really hope this will bring back former customers and bring in new ones. Glad to hear the Miracle Run Branch is part...

Was looking down the coast line to see what sidings were left and saw that the siding builders general in little silver is still place as of 2018. Any idea why the siding would still be connected to the main if they haven't seen a car many many years?

Does anyone have a list of their active customers? I was down there the other week to see them run but didn't stay that long. Was wondering in Winslow Hotmix and 84 Lumber out in Pleasantville were still active.
