South Jersey

SpongeBob SquareCab led CSX Q418 on Wednesday.

The two BNSF engines that led 39G on Tuesday led again on Thursday. Third engine was ES44DC NS 7525.

C40-8W CSX 7727 smoking like an Alco on Q418 Friday.

The latest 'South Jersey Trains' video is out for late August/early September 2016 and features a 503 on the Beesleys Point, the highly endangered B&O CPL signal at Vine Street in Philly, a Girard Point stone train with a GP59 slug set and GP38-2 in the OLS scheme, and a CREX leaser on 38G.

CA20's light power was at Cove Road at 9:15. The crew departed in the jitney at 9:30.
39G was crewless.

39G had an SD60E leader on Friday, photographed at 10 AM. WPCA20 came up at 10:05.
Saturday's 39G had an SD70ACe leader with ES44DC 7556 second and SD70 2556 third.

While taking my usual "back roads" route to Ocean City yesterday afternoon, I noticed two newly placed signs on either side of the new Rt 54 bridge over the Beesleys Point Secondary (Cape May Branch) in the Williamstown area.
Nice to see the State recognizing the history that the railroad played in making it that much smaller of a place!

Cool that they would do that. Slightly OT but did you go through Tuckahoe? I usually take that same route to check on the CMSL but the last time I was through there, it was a nightmare with the Rt 50 bridge replacement ongoing.

I also posted this on the CMSL thread but there is a new visitor in Tuckahoe: http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPi ... id=4552887

NS 39G had ES44AC 8137, SD70M-2 2703, SD70M 2648 and Pavonia's GP40-2 3013, photographed at 9:45.

Conrail's (former) hump job and YPCA15 with CSX Q418 were both working at Cleveland Ave in Camden.
