@Bracdude The state has taken the rails out in spots to provide better access for firefighters Not just by the State, there was some track taken by scrappers. How they managed to sell it is beyond me. Federal offence to buy or sell. In Chatsworth, the scrappers were caught in the act. When last the...

So far. I am "ok" with the discussion going on here with the Southern. However, until there are more facts about who might be buying, leasing, merging, etc..refrain from all the speculation. Some of the comments are redundant. I do find the information from some of you very interesting. I ...

There was a very small one there before. Some of the tracks are still there.

@R&DB In Chatsworth there’s a Company called Ocean Spray who distributes cranberries grown at the nearby farms. My friend says they truck the cranberries up to Boston. They could get cars, but I’m not sure exactly how they’d go about doing it. Yes, Bracdude 181--The talk is, a rail yard in Chat...

@R&DB If it was CNJ engines then that means we should have CNJ 1523 back on its home rails lol. Also, Conrail was still doing Lakehurst to Woodmansie as a separate train? That would’ve been cool to see because it means Lakehurst yard stuck around, at least for a little while. The engines I saw ...

Great shots, Bracdude181! Keep them coming. Thank you.

Questions & answers is what makes this forum so good!

Things are going to change. Possibly within the next year. Do not lose faith. My sources say, within the later months of 2021. Sorry, not going to go out on a limb with too much info for now. I do not want a lot of you folks telling me I am spreading "rumors". This tread has come alive for...

I say leased GP38s. Either something new or something transferred from Tuckahoe.

Hello--To some, "Armchair railroader" is an insult. Now we do not want to insult people here--Thank you.

Hello--- A comment here--Please respect each and every contributor on here. I personally do not like the term "Armchair railroader". I am not too sure what that means, however I have an idea. First of all, if you object to a comment that really upsets you, contact me directly and then move...

Perhaps the two engines I saw in the Clayton Sand facility were pups with the green paint and yellow lettering. They had a trail of hoppers coupled together ready to pull out of the loop .This was in the 70s.

I believe those engines were painted green with "Pine Belt" in yellow. Saw both of them at Clayton Sand down in the loading zone at the plant.

Good job Bracdude181!

Ahhh Chris do to give up on the tracks south to Chatsworth. There are some reasonable ideas afloat that will be made public in the future. Times are difficult right now. Perhaps after this pandemic has eased, more will be made clear about the entire Southern line.
