Is this the location on Mill St? I see a pier on one side but not the other. Looks like a new apartment building where the 2nd pier would have been. The remaining pier doesn't look that old - unless it was refinished with concrete within the past 50 years.... Maybe I have the wrong spot - I'm not s...

Guys, I was just at Clara Mass these last couple of days and I notices a block from their main entrance on Mill street someone started demolishing an old RR overpass. The only thing that is left is the concrete piers on both sides. From the Arial views this little siding use to connect to the Newark...

Looks good. Hopefully they actually get rail service. Actually the rail is already in place. The track gang re-installed all new ties in the whole spur that serves this new facility. What I don't know is what is it. Is it cement? Grain? Saw dust. What the heck are they unloading or loading. If anyo...

My understanding is that the Aldene connection is the ramp from the LV - now Share assets down to the CNJ at to Cranford.

The location I am speaking of is right underneath route 21 on the ramp that take the RVL from the NEC mains to the LV.

If you follow the RVL, once the train goes from the NEC into the Share assets you will see the lumber yard. The customer is the first switch on the Share Assets section of the line. There is a little yard where usually the spine cars, scrap metal hopper and box cars are kept and then track goes onto...

Hello everyone, I travel the RVL everyday from Newark to Raritan. I noticed that there is a new customer building what looks like 2 large Silos on one of the spurs that belongs to the Lumber Yard that is switched by the CSX crew off the Share assets main line. Does anyone know who this new customer ...

Yes, in a big way. Sunday morning I saw a NS eastbound train at the Roycefield runner hauling 170 of the 20' trash containers labeled "Bridgewater Resources." I assume it's a weekly run. I think most of the trash is construction debris and paper/fiber but can't be sure. Do you have a sche...

Not too sure what BRI has to do do with freight traffic on the RVL. Cars for them never touch the RVL main. They are on the ex-reading passenger main from Manville. I am sorry if I made a mistake on my explanation. I ride the train on the RVL. I know the BRI spur doe not connect with the old CNJ ma...

So I take the RVL everyday. I know BRI waste terminal was no longer receiving Garbage containers but lately I've seen at least 5 to 10 flat cars a week.
Is BRI getting back to the rail service for disposal.
Thanks
