Delaware and Raritan River Railroad-General Discussion

Wouldn't be shocked if the two C&D painted locomotives were in position for Friday in Farmingdale and 752 went to Jamesburg.

1888 made it to farmingdale, 752 in route to freehold

So does SA-31 to Bank today have freeholds cars?

Guess we will find out later. I’d go check but I have a dentist appointment today.

Ok, I'm heading over later to church connecting and hazlet to see it. Ill tell you what they have and car count.

2 C&D painted engines in Farmingdale for the photo op on friday. It will be in all the local papers....

Would’ve preferred 752 and 1888 imo.

Today is a holiday, Columbus Day / Indigenous People's Day, depending on how you see it. My union job has off today, so I assume the union jobs at Conrail also have off today, so I don't think we are going to see SA-31 today

I also don't see how it would be impossible to have 752, 1888, and 2005 all present for the event this Friday. Likely they are giving 1888 some cleaning to prepare for the event, and having 752 go take over any duties on the FIT while that happens

SA-31 at Church Running Track with 5 cars:
CSX 4408
4 centerbeams
1 box car
3:10 pm

So what’s the deal with this bridge in Jamesburg? My friend was over there a little while ago and he says he doesn’t see any bridges being worked on

Not sure when it will begin they plan to do so soon, but it would be smart to start next year when the weather gets warmer not colder.

Hopefully the other bridges mentioned in the grant are getting replaced soon too. Especially the one in Lakewood.

4408 is the only locomotive today? Is he going to be able to pull 15 on the return later today, especially giving that last week 4408 had a breakdown and didn't even leave browns. He should be good now if he's taking care of the '31 by himself again.

Ya ain't gonna see Freehold cars going to bank until the track works begin. They're starting in spring and'll last til probably end of summer.
