If I was on that job, I would have gone to Helmetta anyway.

Here are the photos first SA33 through Helmetta.

SA33 likes to stop at Helmetta foods usually.

Hello, from a very new guy (just tonight). I have been reading this post about Browns yard and have researched some maps.
I look at some sattelite photos and I dont see much of a yard or anything parked? Are these images old or something. What is the distance from the NJCL to the yard? Thanks for the help.

4419 had SA 33 this evening.

Browns yard is 6.0 miles west of ESSAY on the Amboy Sec

One question about SA33 does it run every other day?

M-F

thanks.

During the heyday of the building bubble it wasnt uncommon to see the SA31 run out during the day to Home Depot in Dayton for an extra drill. Also in the same time period a Sunday extra with two flat car drills was very very common.

Thanks for the information.

Here is a map of Browns Yard: http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&F ... &encType=1

An item from the not too distant past, when cabeese still roamed the local rails, complete with special hand-applied graphics (!)
