Re: Delaware and Raritan River Railroad-General Discussion

OK. I have been out of the loop for a while now. What is the normal(?) operating pattern of this train now ? Do they still bring cars down to Red Bank via NJCL on Thursday afternoons ? I have vacation this week and wanted to make my annual trip down to the coast line/southern secondary. I normally t...

My question also. There have been 4 or 5 Bay LIne high side gons stored at the old Easton station site since at least Nov. 2020. Have seen NO activity there.

I am trying to capture some W&W action on the former CNJ in south Jersey. I am a north Jersey guy that would have to travel 2+ hours one way. I am particularly interested in the Vineland to Bridgeton section and the Newfield branch. I am on vacation in late August and want to dedicate a day to t...

Wow! Things have certainly changed in 6 years. The old main from East Allentown north only sees local action now as NS cut out 36/37T road jobs. Welded rail main for short locals, go figure. The R&N no longer goes to Packerton via JIm Thorpe to exchange cars. It was fun while it lasted. Heck All...

I was just at E'Port over Christmas holiday. Main line is obliterated east of the Perth Amboy track(used by CSAO). There is a concrete recycling plant on the area that was once the main line/station area. A huge dirt mountain covers the main line track area by the old tower to the turnpike. There ar...

Re: Last operational steam loco on Pine Creek RR: where now?

#26 was running in 2001. That was the last time I was ever there. I always wanted to see the Shay run. I have never seen one of those run yet. Have never been to Cass Scenic(yet). To expand on one of my posts from a few years back. I have become less involved in volunteering these past few years. Ma...

Amtrak fan trips on Lehigh/Reading Lines. CNJ GP40P Heritage unit on NJT. Only problem is it is not currently on neither RV line or NJ Coast Line,where it began its career. Maybe in due time? Those are two I can think of. One negative. The abolishment of H74(or76,depending on who you ask) on the for...

Re: new L&HR book- how good is it?

Great book BUT...... a bit pricy for only a paperback. Some repeated pictures as mentioned but a lot of new ones.It makes no difference. If it is a book on L&HR I will buy it. The Tracy Antz / JIm Boyd hardcover is priced out of this world now. Glad I bought it when it was hot off the press. I r...

I doubt that Allentwon hump will close. They do a lot of merchandise/local freight west of Allentown. The yard is usually stuffed full. Last time I was there, three jobs came in at once and went out to Steel to be humped.

Heard other rumors that empties may go back via Slateford, but like I said rumors are rumors. Either way D-L still serves a customer in Tinkertown and I believe Gravel Place. Just wondering if these cars would still come in via Portland ?

Heard the same thing. If true ,it is a sad day for railfans in the Lehigh Valley/ Pocono region. There goes my Tuesday ritual.Unfortunately I could not seem to get back up to the old DL&W from Slateford north because the D-L schedule did not coincide with mine. Hopefully they get on a schedule o...

Conrail ran two detour coal trains to Portland via Scarnton after a bridge washed out on B&P. That was in mid '90's. Other than that I can't recall any other freight north of Analomink until DL took over in Seot. 2001. CP used to bring the grain trains to MT. Pocono via Scranton. Used to be fun ...

Nice to see the ol' gal running. Only time I saw it move was in '99 at Ringoes when they moved it down the line to coal #60 on the ramp.
