Bergen County Line Freight

I know this is for the bcl, but does the PVL have any more freight customers left? I almost never see the NS GP38-2 that would be down in woodridge or any freight cars.

I know the kuiken brothers lumber yard in emerson still recieves freight. Their freight siding was reconfigured when PVL went to midday and weekend service so they could still be serviced and not block any passing NJT trains. Beyond Emerson, from westwood to spring valley no freight that I know of. In fact someone please correct me if I'm wrong, kuiken brothers may be last customer left on PVL. Their are still plenty of old freight sidings though.

wow. seems like more customers have stopped using rail over the last 18 months. I'll have to go down to wood-ridge and see if I can spot anything on the sidings. Maybe the train is just out of sight from 17.

as a matter of fact i think it's been
around 18 months or more, since i
last saw a GP down by Reddy off
Seamans in Wood-Ridge....
these were pics i took from
12/06 & 3/07...
if ya click on 'em they should
go full size....peace,

Earlier this month, on a westbound NJT Bergen Line train, I saw an NS local coming off the PVL at Pascack Jct with 15 cars and an engine at both ends. Not sure where the cars were coming from but there is definitely service somewhere on the line.

15 freight cars? interesting. I've never seen that many cars on pvl.

Do the GE standard cabs make random appearances around those parts or is that a real rarity?

I haven't seen one of these around in a LONG time.

There only 13 of these former Conrail cab signal equipped standard cabs on the roster

12:02 A.M. just heard 2 really
LOUD horn blasts, but didn't
see any cars by the time i got
to the back window...
seemed like another power
move but might've been
westbound this time...
