Hey guys, I just did a name change on my account, from beanbag to The current username. As such, I am looking to get a pic of an SD70ACe for my avatar. Do you guys know how frequently the NS ACes are in NJ and where I can catch one? Also do you guys know the routing of the oil trains that frequently have the BNSF run through power and where a good spot to catch one of those would be? I could just go pull up a pic of an ACe, but I prefer to take my own pictures for my avatars ever since I got my camera. Thanks.

ACe's lately have been on 212 (morning). But I have seen them on 18N, 290, CSX K040, 33K, H70, CSX Q433, 32A, 20K, 67J and CSX Q418. Most of the time 212 though.
The BNSF's come on CSX's K04x series trains from Trenton,ND-Chicago,IL-Cleveland,OH-Willard,OH-Buffalo,NY-Selkirk,NY-North Bergen,NJ-Philadelphia,PA. 99% of the time goes through Norwood, Haworth, Bergenfield, Ridgefield Park, North Bergen, Jersey City, Kearny, Newark, Union, Roselle Park, South Plainfield, Bound Brook, Manville, Skillman, West Trenton in NJ along its route. I find that any spot is good for me, however I prefer Blauvelt,NY Ridgefield Park,NJ Union,NJ and Bound Brook,NJ. These K04x series trains come through whenever, usually 2-3 times a day
