39G went out with NS 9199 and 9687 and UP 3900 pulling 103 cars.

39G (or perhaps 39J) had three engines elephant style, tails leading. Former UP SD9043MAC NS 7247 was second and SD70M-2 2679 was third.

39G had NS 1164 leading and CP 8734 second, elephant style, long hood forward.

WPCA11 dropped off Juniata Terminal Company SW1500 leaser JTCX 9625 Sunday morning.
39G had SD9043 NS 7245 third, behind SD70 NS 2552.

WPCA51 had an unusually long train Monday with three engines, including Pavonia's GP39, and 51 cars.
The mother/slug set was at the enginehouse along with the NS Norfolk Southern Heritage Unit that came in on NS 64W overnight Saturday night.

Steel slab train NS 60N was at Cove Road at 10 AM Tuesday.

Pavonia's mother/slug set was at Paulsboro Wednesday morning.
Juniata Terminal SW1500 JTCX 9625 headed back to the refinery after shoving empties to Conrail.

YPCA05 was putting NS 60N together at 2 PM with Norfolk Southern Heritage Unit NS 8114 and SD70ACE NS 1048.

What's going on with the string of gons parked on the Westville siding for the past month or so? Seems they get moved back and forth a few hundred yards at a time, every few days. Sometimes north of 295, other times south. As of yesterday morning there were two GPs attached to the north end of them. Maybe they're staged to haul away all the scrap rail that just got torn up down the Penns grove?

They're not the same gons getting moved around. They come in on NS 61N and go out as 60N loaded with steel slabs from Gloucester Terminal. For example, a 61N came in on Thursday and another on Friday.
Edited to add that the gons are stored on Westville siding because Pavonia has been full. Gons are often also stored on Camden's Controlled Siding and there's always a long cut of gons on a track at Pavonia.

SD70M UP 4501 led NS 39G Friday.
