Port Reading Yard Operations and Vicinity

W T F

The extra NS ballast train that came in on Saturday just went Westbound at CP RON with NS 4249 and 4022…

Not sure if it’s a CSAO or NS symbol but it looks like most of the cars are still full of ballast from what I could tell.

JR-05 coming into Port Reading 6:39 PM

CSX 8089 leading
CSX 8136 trailing
More cars for Browns than Port Reading

PR-21 going north on the Garden State Secondary with CSX 4405, CSX 4451 and 3 cars. I think they are for Kinder Morgan in Carteret.

JR-05 pulling into Port Reading with NS 4316 and UP 2633.

NS 6K4 Pulling into West Siding 1:06 PM

NS 9888 leading
UP 3780 trailing

When does PR-20 usually go work Kinder Morgan in Perth Amboy?

In the afternoon.

Daily? Or only on certain days?

PR-11 working Motiva with:

CSX 4451
CSX 6228
NS 1070 (Wabash Heritage Unit)
NS 7602

Depends upon who's asking and for what reason. If it's of the much importance, I would suggest reaching out to Conrail directly.

Any info on what Conrail wants to do with this grant money? Is this gonna be between WOOD and BARB or all the way up to RON?

All of those grants look interesting. Hopefully the improvements result in increased traffic for all the recipients.

Sitting at east siding near CP KAREN on Friday. Think it went back as 65K.

Also stopped by Stiles Yard on the way back. There’s a whole lotta plastics cars being stored in there…
