LV 112 is the power for passenger trains today....

LV112's owner was on the passenger train crew and wanted to do some more testing.

LV 112's unique horn was setting off theft alarms in some of the cars parked at Ford yesterday

GM and Ford are competitors so it figures.

Just read on FB that LV112 is going to have a new friend, another SW1. Nice work, Scotty!

[R36 Combine Coach]

As a side note on the photo freight, Baker's Treat (lunch stop) has since closed in May. Loved the place and sad.

[wolfboy8171981]

Not sure why we didnt remove that, It closed just before the May Photo Freight. Regardless, a Lunch Stop will be made, somewhere.

Wow, it's not every day that you see a SW1-SW1 doubleheader.....

(Just saw LV112 and PRR9206 and PRR hack heading South)

You gotta keep a camera at your desk, Pete!

You gotta keep a camera at your desk, Pete!

I do...but the customer comes first. Even when a SW1 doubleheader rolls by.

[R36 Combine Coach]

A charter was running today (9/22), with 1202 and club car 322. Seen heading south
crossing NJ Route 12.

[greyhairedpete]

It got very smokey and steamy at the Johanna Farms Rd crossing about 15 minutes ago, along with a some beautiful steam whistle music. The old girl was heading north, with one empty flat and a few coaches....

Hopefully I will get some shots of her heading South...

Yes, # 60 pulled three coaches, a caboose, and an empty bulkhead to Three Bridges and return for today's test run. The coaches were left in Flemington and picked up on the way back.

[bigjim4life]

I was there for the whole afternoon/early evening, actually, and was fortunate enough to be able to catch #60 in action, from Ringoes to Flemington, and in Three Bridges as well. The weather cooperated for the most part yesterday (aka no rain), and 60, to me, ran beautifully.

I want to profusely thank the crews of the BR&W and BRRHT for their extremely kind hospitality, and generous access to areas along the line that normally I couldn't get to - with specific permission and under supervision, of course.
