South of Long Branch apparently, as they like to derail on the Bay Head loop, but you'd think they'd fix that issue one of these days!

According to the NJCL discussion in this forum, they're running the MultiLEVELs down to Bay Head again right now.... I would just assume not around the loop. Supposedly, the loop is only being used by the shuttle train when it is used and that doesn't use MultiLEVELs.

Don't assume there mr nick11a!! They are indeed looping the multilevels in Bay Head every night when they get down there on trains 3363 and 3373.

OK, why thank you.... as the old saying goes. :-) Now that they are looping them again, might I assume that they are then looping them slowly.... quite slowly?

M.A.S. for the loop is 5MPH and that's what they are doing.

Very good. Not quite as slow as "Walking Clear" and not quite as fast as "Slower Clear."

If you don't know what I mean, see this: Rejected NORAC Signals (Note: It's a Joke; and yes, I know the loop and the whole yard is dark territory.) :-)
