Hi all;
I don't know if this is a rare thing I saw today, or if it's a common (like, weekly) sight.
I was on my 1st lap running at the Votee Park, Teaneck bike path when I heard the horn at New Bridge rd, Bergenfield. A few moments later, the southbound shows up. Two UP locos (can't tell you what numbers or type, just normal road locos I guess) and fewer than 50 auto van cars.
I am thinking this is a run-through from UP territory, or was it pool power from Selkirk?
In any case, it's the first time I've ever seen pure UP power on the Riverline. I've seen lots of leased former UP locos, but these were the real thing!
Would have loved to be in a position with my camera, but the only camera I had on me was my cell phone, and I was running, so there wasn't even a chance to grab a photo with it.
