Hey guys,
Yet another beautiful day in South Jersey, and a great day it was for
the M420R's to finally show up on CA-51. Not nearly as large a crowd
out on this day to see them, as many were anticipating the move to
occur on Wednesday, but such is life. A few SJRA members were out
along the line to Winslow to see this rare sight, and a few new
prospective members were invited to join (events like these are
always great ways to increase membership). Enough about that...now
on to the photos:

Same place, nearly same time as the day before, CA-51 arrives at
Oaklyn on it's way south, the three Alcos in tow behind NS 5277 and
NS 5225:

The M420R's went along for the ride as the local switched
Weyerhaeuser paper, due to the fact that they were right behind the
CSAO power. This was also done every time in the past, when a
locomotive move was made via CA-51:

Finally, the last shot I could manage on this day is of CA-51 leaving
Gloucester Pike / Browning Road, final destination Winslow:

That's all for today, folks. Take care.
