At 9AM this morning as I was on NJT on the NEC. As I was north of the airport and south of Newark Penn Stn, a NS and Ferromex pair were pulling a long train of hoppers on the bridge above us (heading to the LV I'm guessing?). I admit it's the first Ferromex engine I'd seen and I regretted being in a moving train and not able to get an engine number or quick photo. I'd read they travel up here now and then with BNSF for oil trains and such. Is this still unusual or are they up here on a regular basis? It's one of the few photos I've NOT managed to take on the LV to date...

Train was NS 11J (Newark,NJ-Detroit,MI) I've seen 2, both on CSX. 1 was an ethanol train, and another on both an autorack and a trash train. It is unusual, as they come maybe every other month. Sometimes more often.
