Hello all, I just did a quick scroll through some of the 70+ pages in this thread. I'm seeing alot of mention of FP10 411. Has anyone seen, or heard about the other two still on the roster, the 410 and 413? I know the 412 went to the Adirondack. Any updates would be appreciated. Location, status? Th...

Hello all, Hello Trainlawyer, My appologies for not using my spell checker more often. Oh well, this site is full of typo's. I guess I'll just have to add some more. :wink: As for Trainlawyer's question, it is my understanding that M&E trackage rights agreement with NJT was amended to allow the ...

Hello all, I have found this thread most interesting. Please, keep up the great work of documenting this project. I'm gonna offer my own speculation here. Once again, it is speculation. :wink: My gut tells me that NJT will take the center track OOS next. This would allow them to remove the steel ove...

So your saying CSX has confirmed this or just M&E "employees" Hello all, For what it's worth, a firm I work with recently received a rate quote from CSX to an M&E served location. The routing was CSX Karny ME. Since it was from CSX, I guess that means CSX indeed has an interchange...

Hello all, Well, I find this speculation fascinating! I truly believe that Mr. Wilson is planning on running trains along the Erie mainline as suggested in this thread. Two quick questions I'd like to ask to those who are in direct contact with Mr. Wilson. Question 1: Did Mr. Wilson indeed sell his ...

How long is a scale mile?

Hello all, I have a strange question for you all. How many feet of model train track would one need to model one "scale mile" of track. A real mile is 5,280 ft. How many feet in HO scale for a "scale mile"? How many feet in O scale for a "scale mile"? How many feet in N...

Hello all, I guess I was wrong. This filing certainly threw me for a loop. It is for a line in Freehold, not the former southern secondary. What I found to be interesting was that the notice talks about the additional rights in NJ. I take it that ICC approval was granted for Ashland operations in th...

Hello All, Hello Trainlawyer, Indeed, I was wondering the same thing myself. However, I thought this segment in question was in Ocean County, not Monmouth. I'm going surmise however, that Trainlawyer is correct and the Ashland Railway is going to resume service on the line. However, I was also aware...

Hello all, Hello Trainlawyer, I see Trainlawyer beat me to the punch with his post from yesterday. Alas, it is now official that the Robbinsville Industrial Track is soon to be removed forever. There is no need for Trainlawyer to wait until Feb 5 for the answer to his question. There will be NOT be ...

Hello Trainlawyer, I too was waiting for you or Megan to report on this. My appologies for not answering some of your other posts more timely. I was asked specifically not to respond to your last post to me by CNJ Rail. I felt bad not being able to. I would've liked to answer you questions. It would...

Hello All, Hello Trainlawyer, I have read both of Trainlawyers fine comments in this thread, and after receiving some additional information, decided that I would pass along these additional comments. One comment that I wanted to point out was to Trainlawyer. I noticed you stated the the following: ...

Hello all, Hello Trainlawyer, Well, It appears another party has entered the picture with regards to this line. Given the massive mobilization that I've just been informed about from the fine folks at Trainlawyers favorite punching bag (aka CNJ Rail), I'd say Trainlawyer held true to his statement t...

Hello all, Just to update you all who may not know, the new connection to the Chemical Coast is now fully complete. Most of the tracks in Arlington yard are finished as well.
