Re: 2021 Operation Toy Train schedule

This weekend's run collected 4701 toys. This breaks last years record for toys collected on the Morris/Warren county runs. A special shoutout to the railfans who stopped at multiple locations and donated zero toys. You were spotted, promptly ridiculed and laughed at accordingly. Next weekend, there ...

Interesting info about the Massena Line and scuttled sale. As more and more of NJ's industrial tracts get converted to housing, I don't see much of a future for the Suzy Q. This is why you're a railfan and not a railroader. The NYS&W has been fine since the Conrail merger over 20 years ago. Jus...

RP-1 Seems to be in trouble. They are being told to wait in Totowa until management figures out what to do about whatever is going on. NJT is also calling C&D management but is not getting an answer… What’s going on?! If there was anything that was less your business... Having a scanner doesn't...

They weren't running the NYGL. They were contracted to move the equipment. They did not run day to day operations.

A locomotive. It is irrelevant what the power on the Toys for Tots train is going to be as it is not designed for, nor does it cater to the railfans. It's a way to provide toys for children of less fortunate means so they can have a decent holiday season. What pulls the train is literally of no con...

Really dude? Why would I have even posted that if the engine was all I cared about? Obviously there’s a lot more to running a railroad than a clean engine. If I didn’t know that then why on earth would I have ever started an account on here? Yes, really. Dude. Aside from inane observations about ho...

@JohnFromJersey Gonna be honest with you everything I saw from this company on Wednesday has shattered any hope I had that C&D is gonna run the Southern and Freehold better than Conrail. The service in the sense of actually getting the cars to the customers was better, but that’s about it. Almo...

Bump. Is the recycling center project dead? I drove past the property and nothing has been built. This article from 2019 may have some insight if you're prone to read between the lines. It sounds like a lot of promises, not a lot delivered. https://www.wastedive.com/news/pace-glass-facing-legal-cha...

Google Maps, both satellite, and ground, show nothing but a bare construction site. Given that satellite imagery is usually a few months to a year behind, you'd think the site would be further along than a bare construction site, but it currently isn't. I was in the area last week and a few buildin...

Mighty good video. On the NYSW move, there's an extra two tanker cars and an ex CR caboose added. Anyone know where those came from? The two tank cars were for the Stourbridge line for use in photo freights. The CR caboose is being stored on the Stourbridge for the CRHS. None of the 3 cars has anyt...

It will not move this weekend.
