CR on the Southern Secondary

Today’s SA31

CSX 4452 leading (ew)
CSX 4451 trailing

8 cars for Woodhaven.

Permission to Open Up 3:43 PM

PTC problems with 4452 again. Can’t get the train to move.

I went by Cross St. at 9:45 am and saw 5 railroad trucks parked and several SUV POV's and all were walking the run around and main. Not sure who they were?

PTC is fixed. Lined and Locked normal 4:02 PM

Approaching Red Bank Station 4:38 PM

Been a few weeks since my last SA31 fix. Might wander down to Asbury Road.

Garry, should hit Asbury Rd at 5:45ish. Through Eatontown at 5:00 in the pm...

Unfortunately they don’t get down that far that early anymore. For some reason the train has been stopping the next to the golf course in Eatontown for half an hour or more lately. Odd since there’s no sign of a problem...

I’m at Asbury Rd now and can see the glow from the trains headlights in the distance. Train should be here in 10-20 minutes.

Should be Conrail workers. They were supposed to get a crane

The crew put their foot down after Farmingdale. Doing track speed. Approaching Maxim Southard Rd 8:19 PM

Coming up to Cross Street now. Time to find out if they will take the cars...

It looks like the re railed cars got pulled up closer to the switch at the south end before the train got here. The crew is inspecting them.

Edit: Looks like they are connecting to the re railed cars...

Looks like they will take the re railed cars to Woodhaven. They are moving them very slowly though...

They took the cars to Woodhaven. Boxcar was still damaged. Centerbeam looked just fine. Guess they will look into the boxcar after Woodhaven unloads it.

That’s all for me tonight. I’ll have some pictures and videos uploaded tomorrow.
