I'm assuming that Dietrich Steel is the biggest customer currently on the Boonton line???

Thanks,

I think that is a safe assumption. NS H02 ran down the Boonton Line on Tuesday with 2 units and a good sized train. On his return trip he turned something on the wye at Denville and went west sometime after 5 pm.

My son reports seeing NS H-02 going west through Denville around 4 pm today with 17 cars, mostly boxcars.

Now all NS has to do is get a few more customers on the line and they can bring the car count up to 30 through Denville and then it will be like a mini road freight..........

Reporting live from Boonton:

The activity at Dietrich continues to be strong, there are at least 10-12 boxcars there today. There appears to be some sort of trackmobile device there now, saw a yellow critter as I returned from lunch.
