Delaware and Raritan River Railroad-General Discussion

RB-1 is at Woodhaven. Should be going back soon.

They picked up Extechs car and they had 11 for Woodhaven it seems. They might pick up the tank on the way back.

Very loud indeed. First time I've ever been woken up by a train on the Southern.

DRRR seems to be considerably faster (and earlier) than CR with this.

In the sense of getting down to Lakewood and getting back they are faster. Woodhaven and Cross Street takes a bit longer because of the method they use. A method I assume is being used to keep the crossings clear, something Conrail didn’t care much for.

Northbound through Downtown Lakewood at 12:25 PM.

I wonder what time RB-1 will be coming Friday. Last Friday it was around noon, today it was 9:30AM. Still pretty early into the takeover, so I'm not sure what the finalized time will be

They also do not have a second engine, yet. I'd imagine that makes things a bit complicated when you're working with a dozen or more car counts; CR would only run a single engine when there was about 8 or less cars.

Does anyone know when 752 is supposed to show up? I'm guessing Friday.

Last I heard it’s still in Oak Island. No clue what they intend to do with it. Maybe it’s a backup incase 2005 or 1888 breaks down?

Where in DRRR storing their engine on the Southern? At one point there was speculation about "inside the fence" at Woodhaven.

They are storing it in Red Bank yard, on the far left track.

Train should be getting close to Farmingdale.

Unless there's something going on I am unaware of, it seems they are conducting their operation in a very business-like manner.

Not to take away from the D&RRR, I found a video I took in April 2021 in Lakewood which is kind of cool showing action on one of the wood trestles.

Where was that filmed?

Near Route 9 at the little creek bridge

That we are.
