Hello all, Just wanted to thank NJT 5446 for the great pictures of the "new" CP Potter. Just one um...."minor" :wink: :-D thing I noticed. The photo was taken from an NS train. The NS train has a clear signal. (Something a certain NJT engineer will likely NEVER see again if he do...

Hello all, Hello Wolf, Thank you for the update. From what I have observed this week when I drove by, it looks like the temporary switch in what will become track one has indeed been removed. It looks like Regent will be OOS until the end of the week. While the switch was set into position on what w...

Hello all, Hello Jtgshu, Maybe NJT will decide to rename one of the interlockings for the new siding for the deceased Bull.... :wink: After all, Leo would make a great name for an interlocking. However, I thought we might ask them to consider two additional names. How about naming one "Bull&quo...

Hello all, Thanks Wolf!!! I haven't had a chance to venture down to Potter and see what was going on. I assumed by your post that the signal head for track one was still turned to the side and not lit like CP Bound Brook. One of these days, I expect the crews to start to cut in the two new switches ...

Hello all, Hello Wolf, Just a quick question for you Wolf..... How come they didn't cut in all the signals at the new CP Potter? I would have thought they would have cut in everything at once. Is there a reason why the didn't activate the eastbound home signal for new track 1? Anyway, that's all for...

Hello all, Hello Trainlawyer, I have read the links provided and was quite surprised to see the Baltimore City Press article. I have sent an Email onto Mr. Strohmeyer seeking comment on Trainlawyers questions. Hopefully I'll hear back from him soon. To answer EDM's question, I'm going to hazard a gu...

Hello all, Hello again Trainlawyer, Just to give you a quick update, I've been told that Mr. Riffin will be filing a response to the NS motion to strike. The info I received may be wrong, but I was told that replys to the NS motion must be filed with the Board within twenty days of the NS' filing. I...

Hello all, Just a couple of quick questions for Wolf...... Have the C&S guys updated your computer screens in Mt. Laurel yet to show the new track, albeit, OOS? Also, since CP Bound Brook is in service, and the old signal shed having been removed, do your screens show the new crossovers yet? I'm...

Hello all, Hello Trainlawyer, I was kinda caught off guard by this filing. I was unaware that Jim Riffin had any interest in this rail line. I have reached out for Trainlawyers favorite punching bag to get some more information on what is / was proposed. I'll forward the info just as soon as I get a...

Hello all, Wasn't the first newark airport station on the former CNJ near the north end of the CR yard (Portside??) you travel over when you drive into Port Newark? Its been years since I have been in the port, so forgive me for not recalling the road by name. Now, forgive me while I date myself. Th...

Hello all, Thank you Ernie and Russ! I kinda thought that the ROW was gone west of Chester St. Ernie, you said the right of way was still intact. Did you mean that there is an easement or something left throught the properties between milepost 2.4 and 2.8, or did you mean from MP 2.4 to the river? I...

Hello all, I was looking at Kingston NY on google maps and was wondering.... How did the Catskill branch make its way through Kingston to the Hudson river? I can see the line clearly heads west from the CSX line, but how it went east toward Rondout is not quite so clear. I can make out a bridge acro...

Hello all, I remember asking similiar questions myself many years ago when NJT was putting in the high level platform in summit. How were they gonna make it work? Would it look right? Well, many years latter, and after far to many cocktails too, I don't recall anymore how the platform/stair configur...
