Trains and operations in Browns Yard

Leaving Port Reading 1:25 PM.

Lined and Locked normal at Church Running Track 2:34 PM…

Ooooookay. They are shoving to Browns. Wasn’t expecting that…

Approaching Cheesequake Rd 2:50 PM

Train got to Browns around 3, one hour behind the advertised. Overall though, very fun day out. Got to see some people I haven’t seen in a while!

Some footage of the 2022 Conrail Santa Train.

Will SA-31 still open up for Red Bank around 3:30 today with the Coast Line holiday schedule?

No evidence of that at all. From people who checked it out the other day...

Sounds like it's just hearsay as of now...

Indeed. It does beg the question how C&D intends to store cars there if/when they reconnect the Southern and all traffic goes that way.

Anyone hear anything about SA-31 on the radio?

SA31 did not run tonight. In fact, a lot of Conrail trains didn’t run. Raritan Central didn’t either…

Today is "observed" New Year's Day. Meaning that since New Year's Day fell on a weekend day (yesterday, Sunday), the closest weekday/business day to it (which was today, Monday) will be the day it's "observed," meaning many jobs/businesses (especially unionized ones) will have off today

That's still a ways away though. I'm sure something will get figured out by then.

SA31 went to down the Amboy Secondary today. Still haven’t brought the train to Red Bank…

Anyone know if SA22 will bring the train to Red Bank later?
