Good afternoon. Changing the subject a bit back to the D&DR RP-1 schedule, Will they be coming down to the Totowa Industrial Spur to service Royal tomorrow (Wednesday) or Thursday? I remember they did have a once a week on Wednesdays schedule sometime ago so I was just curious. Thanks.

Hi All. A bit of a late post here. I went down to the Bogota/Ridgefield Park area a week ago (Friday 4/22/2022) to see if I could catch the SU-99 and there was none. I am guessing they are still on a Monday & Thursday schedule heading up to Binghamton. NY? I did see 2 NYS&W locals however al...

Good afternoon. I went to Mt. View/Wayne to see if I could catch the D & DR Local today. I know that in the past the local comes down the Montcalir-Boonton Line Westbound to Mt. View on Wednesdays to get onto the Totowa Industrial. I believe it still has Royal Distributors in Totowa as the local...

Good afternoon I was informed by CR7876 (thanks again CR) Royal Distributors (which is located at 50 Maltese Drive in Totowa, NJ) gets serviced as needed M-W-F by this shortline. Here is their website if anyone is interested. http://royal-inc.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return fa...

Hi I need to make a slight edit & correction to my last post. It's not Vernon Avenue but Mt. Vernon Street. My mistake. I know that street is right by the Ridgefield Park Station in Ridgefield Park.

Thanks CR7876. Would you happen to know what time or time frame they get over there when they do go to Totowa? I will be going to the new post site after this. Thanks again.

Good morning can someone tell me if the SU-99 is still being put together up at Passaic Junction in Saddle Brook or are they back down in that Bogota/Ridgefield Park Yard between Cross Street & Vernon Avenue? Also is their schedule back to normal? And are they still heading up to Binghamton M-W-...

Good morning has there been a new thread started regarding that shortline D D & R and if so what is the thread title? Also does anyone know the official schedule of that shortline servicing Royal Distributors on the Totowa Industrial Spur in Totowa? Thanks.

Good afternoon this post is a little late. I managed to catch and photograph the NSH02 at Taft Road in Totowa as it was on its way to Royal Distributors this past Tuesday 3/26/2019. The local arrived about 11 am with the following consist: NS 3366 SD40-2 6 axle, about 4 covered hoppers and 3 spine c...

Hello and thanks to everyone for this information. I plan on trying to catch the NSH02 tomorrow somewhere between Mt. View Wayne and Totowa NJ. It looks like it will be the last chance I get to catch them so hopefully I will get some nice photo shots. I am looking forward to seeing the new power of ...

Good afternoon. Does anyone know if the NSH02 is still servicing Royal Distributors in Totowa NJ on the Totowa Industrial Spur? If so what days and times? If not is it that shortline that's supposed to be taking over? If that is the case what days and times do they get down there? Thanks. Blocksignal.

Thank you ClearlyDiverging. Much appreciated. I did manage to catch them at Midland Park. They arrived approximately 10:35 AM this morning with an interesting power lash-up consisting of NYS&W #3040 & Chesapeake & Delaware #1823 with "Honoring New Jersey Veterans" & "S...

Good afternoon. I would like to know if the Toys For Tots Train will be departing from the Ridgefield Park/Little Ferry area this Saturday 12/1/2018. Given that partial bridge collapse and Hackensack River Bridge O.O.S. I was just curious. Or have those two bridges been fixed by now? Otherwise the t...

Thanks ClearlyDiverging. I did manage to catch the SU-99 on Friday 10/26/2018. It was being made up by the local crew at Passaic (PC) Junction in Saddle Brook then was switched onto the mainline awaiting the road crew to take it North (westbound) to Binghamton. The local crew finished up by around 4...

Hi all I have heard horns blow in the location of the Newark Branch from time to time during the daytime since August. The times have been anywhere from 5 minutes to 1PM to 5 minutes to 2 PM. Would that be the local that serves Van Ness Plastics? If so I thought they switched over there at night typ...
