5628 and 9 empties from Woodhaven Northbound at Victory Road at 11:11 PM. For some reason the train stopped for about 15 minutes in between Miller Road and Oak Glen Road...

A mini-convention of railfans at Pinebrook Rd today, it's always great to see the new generation of rail devotee's pursuing their passion (boy did I feel old today!).

Know how you feel Chris. The other siding into Ft. Monmouth was once ('60s) busy also.

Heads up y’all:

OI-16 today has CSX GP40-2 #4421 (leslie RS5T) third out today. Unsure if they will drop at Browns but I can try and confirm later on today

Current yard power:
NS GP38-2 5628

Finally! Glad to see it back. 4421 hasn’t been down these parts in a while...

Glad that 4421 is here and all, but why send 6228 away? Should have shipped 5628 out so they have three healthy engines to work with.

5628, 4421 and about 17 cars today. Should be in South Amboy.

Is 5628 leading?

I hope I’m not the only person who’s getting kinda sick of 5628...

For the first time in several years, SA31 used the passing siding at Route 88 tonight. They left the tank car on the siding and continued on to Woodhaven. Not sure how SA38 will pick up the tanker. The siding isn't in good shape and the flangeway at Second street is almost covered in debris...
