Is the damage to the bridge confirmed? If you recall, the path that the storm tracked actually blew water away from the Cape and there was very little to no flooding south of Atlantic City.

As Ben noted, the failed ring gear was merely an excuse to terminate service. I believe the gear failed during a "test" opening. The bridge was structurally sound and here were actually spare gear sections onsite that could have been easily replaced. It's ironic that the failure happened t...

Do the F40's still run in Notch 8 in work train service? I thought that was for HEP purposes only, and didn't NJT replace all of the HEP gear with CAT gensets anyway ( now removed I believe ) for HEP power?

I would say better visibility and easier to climb onto and off of for starters.

Great shots, Bob. Love seeing these classic units still in service after fifty years.

The bridge was serviceable when the line went out of service. Not sure if it's been operated occasionally or not but as long as nothing has run into it, routine maintenance should be all that's required.

Might be worth giving them a shout:

Thanks Ben. Beat up and dirty is an understatement.

What a mess. I wonder if it somehow picked that switch.

West Trenton Line service also reportedly resumed on June 15.

Nice and shiny, although the plow and steps are already a little dinged up.

Thanks for sharing, Ben.

Great video. That would certainly explain the horns that I heard on the 22nd.

Everyone, Since SEPTA is running such a barebones schedule, the Pennsylvania Northeastern has been running it's W230 train from Warminster to Lansdale in the daylight, usually reaching North Wales in between 3-4. Seeing this train in daylight (and under wire) is incredibly rare. They did a spaghett...

Just heard the return trip around 3:30. Sounded like diesels, assuming it was a PNER freight run to the spaghetti factory in Warminster.

Horns through Roslyn at 1:06, definitely not Silverliners, sounded like a push/pull set.

Does anyone know if they are running patrol trains on the lines that are curtailed?
