Re: Beesley's Point Future
This is confirmed. 502 is now holding at River Road off I-76 in Philly. Has three units already so it looks like it could be a daylight run down to the Plant.
Good luck!

Per Mainline Dispatcher it is not moving from Falls until tonight. So they are tied down currently at Falls.

Re: Beesley's Point Future
Just like that 503 left last night and as of now looks to be west of Philly near Abrams Yard. That was quick!

Re: Beesley's Point Future
It appears that the BL England Generating Station's days are numbered. According to an article in the Press of Altantic City, two of the three units have already been decommissioned and the plant will shut down entirely in May. The plan to build a natural gas pipeline is also being scuttled. None of this bodes well for the future of the Beesley Point Secondary, especially past Tuckahoe.

Re: Beesley's Point Future
Sounds like they will be removing the remaining coal that was onsite.

Re: Beesley's Point Future
Who owns the Beesley Secondary below Winslow, CSAO or NJDOT? As B.L. England was CSAO's only real business on that line, will someone else pick up the car storage moves to/from CMSL? It would be a nice pick up for SRNJ or CMSL.
Another question is who is responsible for the Secondary's maintenance of way?

NJT owns everything from Pennsauken Delair Junction to AC, Ocean City, (including the bike trail), Cape May, (including the Sunset Beach running track), and also to Woodmansie.

Re: Beesley's Point Future
NJDOT is the statewide transportation authority which includes highways, airports, etc. NJT is the operating organization. They are connected but technically not the same. I do believe it is NJT that owns the trackage and ROW's.
