How you doing Ken??
The best thing to do would be to stop in the shop in Morristown(off Abbott Ave behind Staples) sometime around 7 am Mon-Friday to see where they are going... The reason I say this is they don't really have a set schedule. USUALLY, they head out west on NJT on Mondays, Tuesday and Thursday and do the Whippany line on Wednesdays or Fridays, but that can change on a dime. The days they head out to Lake/Chester Junction they could do either the Chester, High Bridge or D&R Branch.
Sometimes they head east down NJT to pick up some tank cars for the Whippany line, but that usually happens only once a week.
It really is hard to tell unless you ask one of the crew before they leave in the morning. They usually don't get out until after 8 am.
Hope this helps!
