TRAINSPOTTING ON THE MORRISTOWN & ERIE, 2011

#18 was doing some yard duty today, with 19 inside. Meanwhile ex-AMTK SW1200 559 is being scrapped.

Ex Amtrak 559 was not being scrapped, but rather being re-powered with another prime-mover. Unit should be back in service soon.

Heard them blowing for Morris Ave. on the D&R about 3:45pm on Tuesday.

They were not down that way this morning.

will it be repowered like the 22?

I kid I kid

559 has had its new prime mover installed and, yes, the hood still fits.

I had to go out to Morristown on Monday, and I swung by the shops around 5:45 PM.

A passenger car was on Track 1. I couldn't see what it was.
18, still with the sign from the Easter Bunny Trains, was sitting on Track 2.
The switcher was on Track 3.
563 and 487 were on Track 4
Ohio River was on Track 5.
7205 and a bulkhead flat were way up by BAKER, hidden behind the trees.

Bad phone photo, because I forgot the camera at home.

Passenger car on Track 1 looks like the Mount Vernon.

An M&E engine with three coaches (Mt. Vernon, a Pullman, and maybe the L&N) just used the services of the NJT wye at West End Interlocking in Jersey City.

#18 was out in Rockaway today, crossing Stickle Ave at 1:22 pm. Here switching up the line at 1:30.

nice pics, r36!

They were out very early on the Chester Branch this morning, which I missed. In around 10, gone by 10:30. I assumed they were also heading to Rockaway afterwards.

Stopped by Morristown last evening. 18 was tied down on the hill with Mount Vernon and Kitchi Gammi Club. The Club was on the east end with a deactivated FRED in place so I'm assuming the cars had been out on lease and the crew picked them up (at mmc?) and brought them west and will continue to Whippany this morning.
