Thanks Bob. That must be one monster transformer, the springs on the flat are almost completely compressed. That's the second one in a month, any idea if they're going to B L England or another destination?

My understanding is that the transformers are delivered to Williamstown siding.

No pictures but a couple observations on my way back from Cape May today:

- personnel were servicing the rolling stock at Tuckahoe in obvious preparation to the upcoming Santa trains.
- empty continuous rail train is currently parked on Milmay siding
- Southern boxcar is currently spotted on the team track at Folsom.

Nice to see at least a little activity down on the Bees.

The north end of the Vineland Secondary was a bit congested last Saturday afternoon. Empty steel slab train NS 61N moved south from Pavonia and stopped short of Carl Miller Blvd, formerly van Hook Street, because YPCA05 was working the Holt yard picking up steel slab loads. Both photos were taken from Chelten Ave.
CA05 eventually moved past, followed by WPCA11X, after which 61N moved south to Westville siding.
