What Conrail locals work in the Phillidelphia area now? I understand the CA jobs out of Pavonia work the Jersey side, but as to Frankford Jct, the Chester Secondary, Port Richmond, NEC up to Trenton and the Stoney Creek areas im unsure as to what CSAO trains operate.

Also-Does the Conrail South Jersey TD dispatch the Trenton Line from CP Hatch over the River into Phillidelphia?

Thank You

I think SEPTA 3 might dispatch that, but I don't know the Freq. I think that SEPTA 1 dispacthes the Trenton Line from CP-Trent to CP Berry.

B&M, you are correct. South Jersey controls that territory.

I know there's a couple of FJ trains that still operate out of Frankford Jnct, pretty sure...also some SC crews for Stony Creek...couldn't tell you the symbols though, as I'm a completely Jersey guy. FJ-3 comes to mind however, for some reason...

CA-01 from Camden does cross the bridge into PA and goes over to South Philly with a stop at Frankford Jnct. This is daily, Mon-Fri.

And yes, CR South Jersey does the Delair Branch, which is the technical name for that line over the Delair Bridge and over to CP PARK.
