CR on the Southern Secondary

Seemed like it was a busy week last week. I could swear I heard the horn for the Tennent road crossing Monday Wednesday and Thursday. I live about 4 miles away and hear it when weather conditions permit.

There is a thread called, "The Freehold Secondary Mystery", where moves are sometimes documented.
The same crew (SA31) that works the Southern Secondary on Thursday, works the Freehold Secondary (or Industrial Track) usually on Monday and Wednesday afternoons.

I’m sure everybody probably knows, but expect the train tomorrow

Well, sir....all of us don't have inside information like you, this is the first I'm hearing about it.

But the crew did run the day before Thanksgiving last year, so......will it be the SA-31 or the SA-93 tomorrow?

Sorry Chris, my assumptions got a bit out of hand, my apologies

Pretty sure it is going to be the 31 today. Trying to confirm...

All Browns jobs are annulled tomorrow and Friday, so a Southern trip is guaranteed for today. There will also be a run to Freehold and maybe even Dayton.

CSAO WPSA-31 thru red bank CSX 4405 NS 5632 +17, 2 tankers one gondola, rest are boxcars and woodhavens.

Nearing Earle with CSX 4405, NS 5637 (not 5632), 14 Woodhavens, 1 gon, 2 tanks

Thanks guys, stuck at work today. First time down with 2 tanks, very cool, and.....is this the first trip down the Southern for NS 5637? I know she has been working at Manville for many years...

Last time I was along there, there was a nasty looking potential washout immediately alongside the road. And a pile of ballast on the other side of the road.

CSX 2798, CSX 4441 + 14, approaching Maxwell Rd. in Eatontown at 4:20 in the pm. One tank appropriately spaced, 13 Woodhavens this week..........

CSX 4405, NS 5640 with 15 lumber, across Maxwell Rd in Eatontown at 4:00 in the pm.
