Browns Yard Freighter on NEC |
Description: |
After superstorm Sandy had disabled the Raritan River Drawbridge, the supply train from Oak Island (OI) to Browns Yard could not traverse its normal route. On this day the OI supply train reached Browns by traveling down the NEC to Midway interlocking in Monmouth Junction, where it was pulled backwards onto the Amboy Secondary with a different set of locomotives. Here is the OI train passing under the signals at Midway interlocking. |

This four car train is by far the shortest Ive seen CR WP SA33 to Dayton. It has just departed Browns Yard and is crossing Sandfield Rd. which does not have crossing signals. Instead the train crawls to a stop just prior to the crossing and someone from the crew throws two flares. One of the flares can be seen burning on the road off to the right. |

Description: |
This is by far the shortest Ive ever seen the Dayton Branch train. The train to Dayton runs 5 days a week and used to typical run with 20 cars or more and a pair of geeps. I heard that at one time more than half the cars delivered to Browns Yard went to Dayton. It appears that this may no longer be the case. |

The driver was in a hurry and couldnt wait for this behemoth train to pass. You can see the passengers head turned and was probably receiving a good scare. Gee, I should look back at the pictures just before to see if her hair was white in them too. Fortunately, the train was moving at 10 mph or less. |
