There was a train last Friday /Saturday too.

If that's along the NEC / New Haven line, then yes. I'm terrible with street names in the bronx.

I only worked until 3 pm and I didnt see anything in that time frame. I do see P&W stone trains on friday evenings when theyre in full tilt just wasnt sure if that particular train was going that way, I dont know much about P&W but I work in the steam plant at 2000 east tremont ave so if thats the route it takes I can get good video from the roof if i know theyre coming. Sometimes out of nowhere theyre will be a loud deep rumble and you pause and look around assuming its the equipment then you realize ohh its just the train across the street lol

Going to put this in here since it sort of deals with Stone trains.
Drove by Posillico Materials in Farmingdale, NY this past Saturday morning. Looks like the asphalt plant will open again soon as their sidings were full of loaded GATX and Tilcon cars loaded with aggregate. Thid may have been the first delivery since the winter ended, not sure. A rough guess would be about 3 GATX and 11 Tilcon cars. Looks like the Trackmobile will be busy moving the loads soon.
