Very nice shots, Chris; I got there a little late, so only one angle available (without risking arrest)....

For those interested, a DME unit is sitting in Sewaren this afternoon, perhaps there 'till tomorrow early am....

.....and reliable sources have reported an NS 66Q through Hershey this afternoon with NS 8000, BNSF Warbonnet 635 and KCS (grey, not Belle) 4614; should be in Jersey sometime tonight. Happy hunting......

That is what happened with the 68Q in Sewaren. I was up in the area yesterday shortly after noon and took a peak at what power was there and saw a CSX D9-40CW and a 8-40CW.

An ethanol train doesn't spend much time on the 'Coast! Generally, in one day, out the next morning; pretty efficient operation, kudos to the crews & dispatchers in this region.....

[OCtrainguy]

Yes, they are very efficient with those trains. I wasn't expecting the DME unit to be there, but was curious as to what was there.

Caught the morning northbound stack train crossing the Elizabeth River.

Decided to take a ride up to Port Reading around 5:30 and watched these guys pulling a whole lot of empties out of Motiva.

Ahh, yes, that's why we love the 'Coast; great catch Rob.....

Drove past around dinnertime and found a pair of UP engines were tucked under the bridge by Motiva.

This morning, I saw a NS ethanol train parked by Carteret while I was on the turnpike that had a NS Dash 9 and two CP wide cabs. So on my way home, I swung by Sewaren and saw those engines parked under the bridge. Don't know if the train will be moved this evening or tomorrow morning.

[ChrisU]

Saw those engines around 5:00 am on my way to Hoboken and on the way back 66Q?? or something was in Tremley with a leaser SD45-2 in BN paint. No pictures though went by too fast.

[dano23]

Quite the mix of power out there right now. 2 NRE BN SD40's, a BNSF Dash9, BNSF warbonnet SD75 a CN SD75 and a CN C40 all mixed amongst 3 sets of power.

[RailsEast]

An exhausting 2 hours this morning at Pt. Reading; 2 yard jobs and 3 ethanol trains (with 9 models & 4 roads represented) under perfect skies....I think I need a nap....
