NS H-02 - sightings and reports

pdtrains wrote:Oh Jeez. I mean from now till the shortline takeover. Obviously there will be no H02 after someone else is taking over the local freight biz.

I know.

I'm saying that I don't think that NS will make such a change when the takeover is just months away.

H02 was Eastbound by Mt. Olive at 8:45am today

H02 ran to Washington again today...

Yeah, I think it went east with 18 cars or so.

Still a good chunk, mostly tankers in Washington this morning.

H02 brought 18 cars back from Washington today, most of them being tankers for the M&E. It sounded awesome going up the hill at Mt. Olive as 3010 was notched out.

M&E is now running an impressive tank car business. But what is the new commodity they are hauling?

Must be more of the infamous loaded butane cars for storage.

The tank cars being stored on the Whippany line are empties.

Are you so sure? According to the reports my friend gets the cars coming over are loads.

Although the M&E is storing mostly empties on the Whippany Line, there are some loads on their trackage that are stored. The M&E has been installing many more sidings along their line to make room for all of these incoming tankers, particularly between Morristown and Whippany. With the loss of the Morris County lines in the future, this might be the future of the M&E.

HO2 went east through Hackettstown with 15 cars this afternoon with 3010

Hopefully there is some revenue freight moving, not just cars for storage..

I believe there are three or four sidings on the Whippany Line that receive cars.

Does the M&E still serve Joyce Moldings in Rockaway?
