CSX 887 on I-003 |
| Description: |
CSX 887 is on I-003 on track one in West Englewood, NJ 11/30/2024. This used to be the siding that switched off from the main at CP-7 and at one time extended to CP-13 in Dumont. In the 1980s, Conrail cut the siding back to New Bridge Road because the siding at that time had a speed of only 10mph. North of New Bridge Road, there are many grade crossings in Bergenfield and trains moving at 10mph would tie up the whole town. Today, I believe track one is now good for 40mph. I dont know if the siding could be considered a "controlled siding" at the time as there were no intermediate signals between CP-7 and CP-13. Even after Conrail cut the siding back to New Bridge Road, there were no intermediate signals on either the main or the siding as Conrail removed the 10 Automatic signal on the main as CP-10 was just right around the curve. First CSX added a middle siding and the original siding was called the east siding and of course the middle siding was called the middle siding. That all changed when CSX double tracked from CP-1 all the way up to CP-7 where the new track connected to the east siding. This became track 1 and the original main became track 2. |

CSX 5337 on M-267 |
| Description: |
One thing I hate about winter besides the shorter days, is the harsh lighting conditions thanks to the sun being at a low angle to the south. CSX 5337 is on M-267 in Ridgefield Park, NJ 11/30/2024. M-267 did not make a pickup in Ridgefield Heights and only had a short train and no DPU. |

CSX 3028 on M-266 |
| Description: |
CSX 3028 is on M-266 in Ridgefield Park, NJ 11/30/2024. The train ran into a snow squall somewhere up north as evidenced by the snow on the locomotives pilot. There was a stiff breeze coming out of the north west. During the early to mid 2000s we all would have been hanging out on the south side of the station standing by the stations south wall. It offered protection from the wind and the brick would actually warm us up a bit. Some of the people that hung out there are no longer with us. |

CSX 7286 on I-157 |
| Description: |
CSX 7286 is on I-157 at the north absolute signal of CP-5 in Ridgefield Park, NJ 11/30/2024. This photo took a lot of work as it was back lit and coming out of the sun which is never ideal for photography. Thanks to digital photography and Photoshop Elements, I made the photo look halfway decent. |
