The Salem Branch is a tough one, especially for a shortline. They've been trying to make the Port of Salem there be a bigger operation that would result in more rail traffic for a long time now, but with all the other ports and rail lines around that are very well-established (and much bigger), it's unlikely that would happen anytime soon.

With the right operator, the right time. It could turn a profit.

NS 1071, CNJ Heritage Unit, led CA15/39G Tuesday. It didn't get out until well after 12 noon.

Just saw CA51 parked before Warwick Rd in Somerdale on the trip back to Camden with CSX 4403 and 6971 and about a dozen cars.

And the MI61 used the NS 5802 and 5219 last evening as seen through Woodbury heading to Camden.

Saw them by chance again today with the same power as they were going back to Camden with an empty aluminum coal hopper and 2 covered hoppers.
