yesterday after the CSX train returned to OakPoint , i noticed a short train made up of about ten old/faded yellow hoppers also headed to Oak Point . i did not see what was pulling this train , but was wondering if it was a work train or if anybody knew anything about it ?

Why would CSX work on the Hell Gate/Fremont line ?
Fremont area would be LIRR,
then NY-Connecting would be ? CSX ?

CSX would do the trackwork on the connecting line over hell gate, yes...

Haven't seen any work train of hoppers up there myself, but I did see perhaps 2 weeks ago a burro crane right near the main span - I'm pretty sure it was on the amtrak side of the bridge though.

In any case, there has been a small crew of people working on something on the bridge pretty much all summer.
