It is usually a short train with a few tankers for Cutters and they sometimes have the blue caboose. LI26 also works on the NEC at Deans and around County on the other days typically. They have one GP40-2 on this train. Last I checked, they had NS 5282.

I caught a westbound train heading across the Raritan at Perth Amboy for Browns with two SDs on a Friday once at 3:58 PM (just before rush hour.)
