Most Railroad projects are done at a snails pace.
Here are, just a few, things that still need to be completed.
1. Build or reconfigure an interchange somewhere in Lakehurst. This could be on the Conrail side, but most likely on the NJSL side.
2. rebuild the loop at Woodmancie, or build a passing siding there to stage loads/empties.
3. Conrail will need to clear its line from South Lakewood to Lakehurst, a distance of 5.5 miles. ( the crossing at Whitesville rd needs repair also)
4. Ballast and Tamp the approaches to the RT 539 crossing.
We would all be guessing what kind of service Clayton is looking at/for. Do they plan on unit trains or loose loading.
