I wonder where they went. On Tuesday they were seen in Lakehurst and on Wednesday they were no where to be found. Could they have dumped them out on the Toms River industrial track?

Intersting thought, yet why would the TRIT be a dumping point for these cars? I dont think theres anything of interest there.

They might have been shipped down to Tuckahoe by truck for the Cape May Seashore line service...Anyone ever think of that???

Trucking would be a lot more expensive than rail all the way I would think.

I would certainly think rail all the way would be a lot less expensive. NJT-Newark crews-Metuchen crews-Frankford Junction crews and then get it from there somehow to the CMSL.

From what I saw the rails to the base have not seen any activity in a long time. The crossing before the base has alot of light brush all over the tracks that did not look disturbed.

With the weekend here I'm sure someone here will go and find them.

hmm, if i were a low level comet 1 car, where would i be?

Do freights ever pass through Perth Amboy on Sunday's. I might be there next Sunday. I would be coming by train but I will spend most of my time walking around the city with my aunt.

Yes, I do see freight passing through Perth Amboy on Sundays sometimes. I know there is definitely one for Saturday (the SA42) and I see the SA42 sometimes on Sunday as well. Not sure if it is scheduled to run though on Sundays. If it does run, usually it passes through going west around 10ish to 1ish or so.
