Are airlines subsidized? I know trucks are. Another thing is trucks pay a whole lot more taxes than the railroads do. Maybe that’s why most politicians don’t care about the railroads...

#1585362 by Tanker1497Tanker, that map is from the 1920s I believe. The yard was the original Raritan abd Delaware Bay RR shops. Most of the yard, roundhouse and shops were removed in 1929. They kept water, coaling and minor repair shop until about 1954. The wye remained until about 1960.

Never heard of that before.I think GSC may have this confused with the Baldwin DR-4-4-1500 ( a cab unit) 0r possibly the Faibanks-Morse H15-44 (aka Baby Traimaster a road switcher). Both were 1500HP. The only ALCO HH series that CNJ used were HH600s, a 600HP yard switcher.

An excerpt from a NJ attorney publication explains it in simple terms thusly: "the primary issues are (1) whether the use is legal in the first place, (2) whether the upgrade would expand it, and if so, (3) whether it would qualitatively change it to such a degree that, in reality, it is more fairly characterized as an entirely new use rather than an expansion of the pre-existing one."

I think I got the 1500 from CNJ's numbering system.CNJ numbered all the 1500 hp units in the 1500 series. The FM H15-44s were 1501-1513 (1514-1517 were FM H16-44s) the Geep-7s were 1520-1532; and the Alco RS3s were 1533-1560, 1562-1566. (1561 was an RS2).
