Something else just went west through Rutherford, only heard the horns.
One of the possibilities to also watch would be the cleanup of the Passaic River in that area as well.
The coach is the ex Cooperstown and Charlotte Valley #4 and was built for the Erie.
The 240 actually went to the Valley Railroad in Connecticut before going to the Tioga Central.
Extra section through Rutherford yesterday around 1pm. Dash 9, SD60, GP38-2 doing all of 10mph wide open on its knees with around 75 cars.
SD70m, SD60, Dash9 and 14 cars.
More gons spotted inside, also a 20 foot Maersk container on the property.

I remember being able to go to Rutherford late at night and catch the TV201 roar though with the OIEL not to far after him depending on if...

The 1268 is blocking everything in so most likely the unit to reposition everything. The 436 is sandwiched in by the FA which will have to be moved out of the way to get to the 436. No inbounds on the interchange in Garfield as of noon today.
I had heard of problems with car availability when they went to the 2 day a week format as far as the C&D goes. I also heard other things about moving traffic, but it's not an evil plot by NS and CSX as most people are trying to make it out to be.
