Re: Middletown & New Jersey / East Penn

Visited Maybrook over the weekend. Both tracks at the propane facility were full and there are three box cars on the Eastern Alloy siding. Campball Hall has about 25 propane cars in the yard. Talked to an engineer and he said that two GP-38s are coming. One of the U-Boats is in negotiation for a sale.

Looks like SU99 dropped off three or so more propane tank cars in Warwick Yard last night.... the other (7) are still there. The runaround is now full.

looks like (7) propane tank cars were dropped off in Warwick Yard last Wednesday night, by NYSW SU99. As of Sunday afternoon, they were still there. Checked the end car's numbers and it is built for propane service with the reporting marks TEIX.....

I also posted this under SU99/100..... very loud eastbound coming out of Warwick this morning around 6 AM. I ran outside since it sounded like a very low flying helicopter.... had what sounded like a Nathan 3 chime horn.... maybe a detour?

What the heck did I hear this Thursday morning around 6 AM? A little late for the SU100 through Warwick..... I thought I heard a low flying helicopter, but it was an eastbound and the horn sounded like a Leslie 3 chime.... a detour maybe?

Months ago, NYSW would drop off cars at Warwick with NYSW SU-99. That has stopped. I would usually see lumber flats and box cars there at Warwick on the morning after SU-99 went through. From what I was told, any customer after the M&NJ "takeover", could have their cars brought in by N...

East Penn GP18 number 1800 (ex-NYSW) is now at Campbell Hall. Should be there to help with new propane transfer facility in Maybrook, as well as the other runs out of Campbell Hall.

An eyewitness that I know ( he has a business about 50 feet from the track ) said that equipment came through and trimmed the trees along the right of while..... he also states that trains are now coming by down to Tarkett. He said something "new" was going on down there. He is not a railr...

Thanks for the Frequency name..... could not remember it. We used to have X-Ray machine parts made there... mainly what was called sand castings. I think the turrets made were the 5 inch variety. Was lucky enough to catch PC RS-11s at the former PRR/CNJ crossing in Farmingdale during 1972-73. And it...
