The Raritan Valley Line Thread…

And I'm not calling anyone a liar; I'd just like to see a photo.

No, I understand what you're saying. It's an 8×10 color print, so I'll see if I can manage to get it scanned and reduced. Otherwise, I'd be glad to show it to anyone in person.

The unit, like I said, has a 7 just slapped on, and a white stripe through the "LEHIGH VALLEY" on the long hood. I'm just taking his notes as word, seeing I wasn't even a twinkle in his eye back then.

Can anyone keep track or pinpoint where the other GP40FHs are?

I'm looking to get pictures of the following units…hopefully, they are still in service…

• 4135
  4137
  4140
  4142
  4143
  4144

Thanks!

That would be awesome! Can't wait to see it and thanks for sharing in advance!

I remember the RDG units got a masking tape "7" placed over the "3" on the GP-39-2s. Maybe someone figured out that they'd have two 7400 series if they also renumbered the LV units!!

Two Geeps on the RVL tonight, the 6:03 and the 6:23 departures from Newark...I'm used to seeing F40's pull up on track 5.

And an F40 led 2311 down the NJCL tonight....usually it's a Geep!

I suspect that it was a cracked rail that requied a very slow move over it.

[harryguy082589]

How is that fixed? How long does it take? Does all traffic stop for that whole time?

[Wanderer]

I wasn't originally going to head out tonight, but some nudging from a few people convinced me to. I'm glad I did. The full moon showed it's wrath tonight on the RVL. Late trains, and one or two anulled, not to mention equipment disasters and extras galore. Even some Multilevel I's. It was a wacked out night, but an awesome one.

It was a great sound with the 4212/4210 push-pull set. The crew didn't isolate either unit, so both were working at all times, including dynamics. Talk about push-pull. He picked the right time to show up, and by doing so, prt1607j managed to get a few killer shots off. Too bad Erik's video camera wasn't there.

The freight logs can be found in the same place as always: The Lehigh Line Thread

That was (is) a classic consist. As of 2 am, it was still in Raritan Yard. But the Yard Crew was "milling about" ready to make some moves....
