Overall it was a very busy day. I was amazed by the amount of trains I saw in a short period of time. Im very used to the regular 4 to 5 hour periods on the Riverline when you only see 3 trains. I hope you have all enjoyed the photos. Stay safe railfanning.

Ah, Jeff, so that WAS you! I was wondering who that was on the end of
the platform. I came down on the Q164-24.... on duty at 1:55AM, off
duty at 11:15 AM. At least now I know who to look for the next time
I'm "runnin the river" through the area in daytlight! I am sure we'll
finally cross paths one of these days!

Nice shots.

And as a side note, I caught 7324 about two months ago on ME10 at Metuchen.

AH HA! I was wondering if that was you Ralph. I heard your name over the scanner a few times and was thinking it might have been you. As for the locos i saw it was my third time seeing 7331 so i was pretty happy about that. And finally having the license is excellant because now i can go railfanning when i feel like it...as long as i dont have school...work... track or hockey. So i find time to fit it in now. I have been able to chase 2 SU99's so far and have shots from those chases. Maybe later on i will post those shots. Well ill end this as i gotta clean myself up after the fight i got into during my latest hockey game. Have a nice evening all.
