Delaware and Raritan River Railroad-General Discussion

It appears 2005 may have been repaired. It has been moved and is now sitting uncrewed facing west with a string of cars including the caboose attached.
Meanwhile, 1888 is pulling a string of cars past it, heading east towards BG.

No info on the train from me today. Have to get my house ready for when the family comes over on Christmas. Scanner is on, if I hear anything on that I’ll post it.

Sounds like SA-31 is going to Red Bank with 9 and SA-03 is going to Jamesburg with 4.

Seems like trains will be Saturdays instead of Fridays now?

I suspect they worked something out with Lakewood about Friday runs. They're much more sensitive and amenable to local opinion than Conrail, so as long as it's OK with the customer - -

Maybe. Unless this is a one time thing cause of Christmas.

This will be a one-time thing for the third week in a row.

Oops. Forgot they ran last Saturday too. Thanks for reminding me.

Lakeood doesn't care about Christnas! Learn more about Judiasm.

Saturday is far worse that Friday. Friday snarls traffic but Saturday the rail trail from Farmingdale Howell is packed with
families walking the rails. They won't move and its hundreds at times. Remembering no driving after sundown Friday.

I know. I mainly said that because, being very close to Christmas, I’m wondering about crew availability. What if they only had one available crew and said crew had to bring DDRR RP-1 to Phillipsburg or something?

No it doesn't Saturdays NO driving Its looks like flight 232 where the passengers came out of the corn field after the plane crashed!

@Tanker1497 Oh I know about that crash. Insane what happened.

Anyways, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!
