…caught NJT 4300 pulling three arrow cars through Elizabeth yesterday midday. Of course I was at the wheel and couldn't possibly pull over to take a photo… but it was a nice set.

I was down there on Sunday morning (took everyone by Jerry's for the world's best Sausage Sandwich) and cruised the Eport area a bit. As bad as it is that the old E'port station and EVERYTHING ELSE is gone, it was still kind of neat seeing the overpasses over Trumbull St. right by Brophy Field. Righ...

CNJ Fan, definitely better to go back after the cold weather comes in. No vegetation to deal with and it's a bit "quieter" (safer). You'll see more. Wish I had taken movies of E'Port when I was a teen in the 70's. I can still "see" everything there. And the yards out back where t...

At 12:24 PM this afternoon GP40-2 #4303 running long hood forward was seen rolling by Linden headed eastbound from Morrisville, PA I notice most of the interesting equipment moves seem to be around midday. I've seen several this year in the 11am-1pm timeframe. Usually a Geep doing the work. Might s...

I have to agree with Bleet. I used to be a rush hour commuter (and still am for certain contract work I do) through Penn St. It's abysmal, it's awlful, it's crowded and packed --- but it's rarely unruly or violent. I can count on one hand how many times this year I've heard/seen an altercation - and...

Thank you Zeke, I'll look for it! I'm sure there's no reason a freight couldn't use the ramp, it just seems "steep" and tight... Would love to find the photo - will search.

502 Looking good! Practically ready to roll. Fire it up.
Thanks for the info, I really do want to take a few photos...

...and more tunnel in the NYTimes http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/08/nyregion/cuomo-rejects-federal-offer-to-lend-money-for-new-hudson-river-tunnels.html?_r=0" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; This is probably in the Amtrak forum but it affect NJ Transit directly... Seems like ...

Question - they bring/brought freight down the Aldene ramp? I'd never seen it before, just trying to picture how that looked. Anyone see that?
Any chance it'll happen again?

#502 SW1500 still "lives"? Down in South Jersey somewhere? Question - is it visible - to be photographed? I will be down that way in the Autumn, wouldn't mind trying to find it if it's not tucked away too far.

What's the latest? Where are the geeps? Painted yet??

Yes, did the E train down to WTC to the PATH to Newark and by the time I got there (6-ish) the NJ bound trains were running but backed up. I got to Metropark quickly and hadn't even left the platform when the next NJT train came in almost directly behind (and mostly empty). It's been an adventure, t...

It looks like the hi rail weed whacker has been in Lakehurst again recently and cleared the ROW on the NJSL side of the crossing. This thread is beguiling. I'm beginning to think the railroad gods are doing this on purpose to throw everyone off. Occasionally do a little work, then let it sit a few ...

What kind of work are they doing? Hopefully not paving it over? Hope it's something fruitful. Any pics?

Agreed CNJ4. I still miss E'port for the same reason. But I still get a kick out of the Chemical Coast. On another thread they were talking about the SOO line loco that passed through the other day. And it was fun catching a CP Pacman unit sitting out there. At least there is still variety there, if...
