The CNJ's final run on the Southern Division came in August of 1978. I believe SD35s were the standard power used.

I believe you are correct. There was a yard in Hammonton that the Shore Fast Line utilized.
However, this is not the thread to discuss the SFL. I was simply trying to assist in clarifying what locomotives David was referring to.

I believe those engines were painted green with "Pine Belt" in yellow. Saw both of them at Clayton Sand down in the loading zone at the plant. It's possible that you might be thinking of the (now defunct) Shore Fast Line Railroad that was based out of Hammonton in the 1990s. Although they...

GMTX 2614 arrived back in May for lease by Cape May Seashore Lines.

Check this out. Passenger service returns to Cape May. Now if we could only get them to reopen the branch to Sunset Beach. I guess relaying the track to the Lobster House is out of the question, although the ROW is clear to Route 109. :-D https://www.revrail.com/copy-of-south-river-run I wouldn't g...

Does anyone know how many/which F40s were repainted into the Phase IV livery? I might be doing an episode of my locomotive documentary series (Remarkable Engines) on them. Pensyfan, Please see my album of "mothballed & retired" Amtrak equipment. There were at least three or four of th...

Was doing some research and I found this news article about the potential of a Richland to Cape May revenue passenger train. https://www.capemaycountyherald.com/news/government/article_e81ea5a6-d510-557b-b172-f574e986d676.html It's an interesting article, but the fact that it would take 90 minutes ...

ShoreRoad, Thank you very much for the insight! I honestly don't ever see rail traffic returning to Ocean City. Here is a link to my photo album of what remains if the former Ocean City Branch. It begins at CP PAL in Palermo, and continues out through the marshes and into Ocean City: http://www.rrpi...

[/quote] What was the deal with the bridge failing? And would it make sense to bring service back to Ocean City one way or another? [/quote] October of 1981, service to Ocean City ends due to the ring gear failure of the swing bridge at Crook Horn Creek. It gave the railroad the excuse it needed to ...

Does anyone on the Ocean City Line get any service? It's a long, winding route and it seemed to only service the Beesley's Point power plant, which has been shut down. There is no "Ocean City Line". Not since the last (freight) train left the island in 1981, and the subsequent Crook Horn ...

@liftedjeep Is it illegal to hang out by the Rt 72 bridge? I was thinking about taking some friends over there and hiking over the bridge and following the old ROW. I'm about 20 minutes from it. I wouldn't go so far as to say it's "illegal" to hang out at the bridge, or really anywhere al...

I'd be interested in knowing who the potential customers would be on the Cape May branch. After Conrail gave up on it Tony tried to run freight and I believe the only business he got was a lumber car once in a while and then nothing. I'm guessing if there was any real business down there he would r...

@David Thank You. I've been thinking about it more and I'm liking the idea of joining the two divisions together to make one network. Especially if it means a Lakehurst to Tuckahoe transfer and back, stopping to work larger customers as needed. (Like Clayton Sand and Ocean Spray) Could see two loca...

Passing siding at Chatsworth: http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=3969779 http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=3969780 The grade crossing at Rt 563 (Main St) in Chatsworth has been removed as well. This is the "official" end of the line, just prior to Rt 56...
