Ahh okay. Is it coming back down here?
Came in last night. Saw a Facebook post about it, not sure of CSX train but its back.
Probably came in on M403
CA-11 brought it to SMS
A thought just occurred to me.
What’s gonna happen to the Alco S1 sitting in Salem Yard provided it’s still there?

Found this recent article, I hope all these things happened. https://ajot.com/premium/ajot-south-jer ... tics-chain
Interesting. I did not know they were shipping sand to NY by barge…
Just on the glass plant, I know that was the only thing keeping this line going for a while but what happened with the plan for Empire Blended in Salem to get rail cars? I heard they had a disagreement with the SRNJ over a section of track and wether or not it was fixed as part of the line rehab done several years back. Maybe SMS could make that work of EB is still interested?

Empire Blended closed their Salem Plant. There's nothing south of Swedesboro that I know of that could use rail service. That's why SMS will use Salem Yard for car storage.
What about the Woodstown Farmers Market? They were getting a couple cars a year under SRNJ. Or at least they were until SRNJ started to have this weird aversion to going past Woodbury Junction.
Or Mannington Mills. What about them? They have a few sidings there.

The farmers market just got their first car a week ago. First revenue car for SMS on the line
Ah, so they’re back at least. A good start.
so how about as recap here...this whole thing is somewhat confusing to those of us who havent been following closely...
SMS is now operating from where to where?
They interchange with who, where?
Woodstown farmers market gets cars of what? and how far is there siding from the SMS interchange (in other words, are they hauiing freight any distance, or just a mile or less?
SMS brought a GP-38 down from Albany? or what power are they using.
whose line was this originally. and is part of the original line abandoned at this point.
a million years ago i used to drive down to an auction down in that area. I remember crossing a very branchline looking track in swedesboro, but never really figured out all the history.
TIA

SMS runs between Swedesboro and Salem. SRNJ runs between Swedesboro and Woodbury where they exchange with Conrail.
Does SRNJ have any consignees on there part of the line? If not what is their reason for holding on to the line and not conveying swedesboro to woodbury to SMS also.
