I was down in the Ridgefield Park area the other day for something for work, so when I was done I drove by the yards to see what I could see. Among the sights was Norfolk Southern 5291. Along with 5294 (which I also saw) I used to see 5291 regularly working up by my house. But I haven't seen it in a long time. Is there something wrong with 5291, or is it just simply operating in other locations now? I was actually quite surprised to see it, it had been so long.
On the way home, I was passing through Saddle Brook and happened to be sitting in traffic on N. Midland Ave right near where the NYS&W main crosses Midland, and I caught a shot of NS #5616 working the yards on the west side of the road. I had never seen #5616 on the Susquehanna before, which isn't necessarily surprising, but it does make me curious just how many Norfolk Southern GP-38s are leased to the Susquehanna right now?
