On 12-27-04, I railfanned the River LINE and have these questions. (Sorry if some of my notes are a bit sketchy; I didn't get around to posting in a while.)
- Freight rail facility and WRTC(?) - 36 St. Who uses it and information. Also is there a CSX yard around here?
- What do the signs "RCZ END", "ETC", "BTC" (both vertical), "END IDS" (also vertical), "END AUTO BLOCK", "DIB" (vertical), "S" (diamond), "D" (circle), "C" (diamond), and "LIGHT" signify?
- Crew switch 36 St. - What are crew shifts on the River Line?
- Tankers and trackage in a factory around MP 16. - Any insight?
- At one of the grade crossings, I spotted a shrink-wrapped bus advertising the River Line. That was interesting.
- What kind of motor do River Line equipment use? Also what is its specifications? (HP, height, weight, fuel capacity, etc.)
- At MP 6, I noticed a spur track. What is it?
- Also additional freight at MP 10 and NS freight at MP 25. Does this tie in with my other freight questions?
- C5 #6549 at MP 21. Another spur track with equipment. Did I copy this correctly and please explain.
- Spur track at Cass St. - Please develop.
- "Yard limit" spur track(s) and supposedly multi-catenary wiring at Trenton. - Develop as well.
- Burlington Yard, Conrail, Florence Park. Any notable info?
- I spotted a sign that read "Attention Remote Control Loco....." What does this mean?
- Spur track at Florence. Please explain.
- Green and rusty RR cranes at Roebling. Please explain.
- Spur track at Beverly Station. Please explain.
- 2 connected sets - HATCH- wiring at Pennsauken and Cinnaminson. Also some signs that read "RR Exempt". Any explanations available?
DANGER - DO NOT GET OFF MOVING TRAIN
