They would work BT on the Bergen Line to interchange with the NYSW. In the later years, I believe the Red Onion and PJ telephone poles would be dropped at Campbell Hall and moved from a local there. PJ was still used as a crew change point. As time went on, these trains were not very long as Oak Isl...

The detours fizzled out. Maybe one if you’re lucky

Allentown hump is being shut down. The yard will be flat switching only. Many trains that once originated or terminated there are now going to Enola.

If NS is combining trains that were already decently long, you better believe they are rerouting or shunning a lot of the traffic that was on those trains. With the downgrade of Allentown yard, some of the traffic will definitely be gone off the line.

I think Top21 has made a bad situation even worse. Both ends of the Tier are probably running at all time low traffic levels. The Allentown trains are supposed to be the next to go or be rerouted.

Yes originally the train skipped Rt 17 until Don Bosco complained. Students used to board 47 until I’d was changed an hour earlier. 49 would then stop at Rt 17 even though it was not on the schedule until the next change. There is no reason at all for the R on the schedule except for NJT counting pe...

From what I remember, on sunny weekends, they’d use 10+ cars worth and possible second sections. On rainy weekends, not so much. Right now, from Bergen County to shore points is 3+ hours, 2 transfers, your arm and leg, and a prayer than none of the trains are cancelled. No one is gonna do that. You’...

Bring back the Bergen Shore Express!

NS could use the eastern Tier for zero capital costs. They pay no taxes on the line, even though they still own it. The line is generally good for 40mph and the NYSW runs trains from Sparrowbush to Binghamton in just over 3.5 hours. Slots can be set up with NJT on schedules east of Port Jervis (deto...

Hopefully this goes better than the first one...…

It's a complicated scheme to avoid paying taxes on the line. NYSW really gets no benefit from the deal as there is hardly any online business but they are forced to maintain the line to 40mph standards for 3 round trips per week, as well as upkeep all the signals, even though there hasn't been a mee...

If they can get to Andover by 2025, I think you should be thrilled.

They’ll be lucky to get that far before we’re in retirement homes.

I know NYSW stacks used to be 200+ wells long. Rumors of 300 car trains but I never saw any.

The towns don’t want it. They’re afraid the mile long freight trains will come through if that happens.

And yes, there’s no money for it.
