IIRC, the bridge over the Southern on 33/34 (if that is the same bridge you are talking about, @AceMacSD) used to have a sign that denoted that Blue Comet passed under it. This is going back to the 30's/40's of course, but in a couple of books I have, "Railroads of Monmouth County" and "The New Jersey Central's Blue Comet," there is a picture of this sign. I will try to find it and get a picture of it.
In addition, when was the last *weapons* shipment into Earle? It's been said that the last time Earle received massive amounts of anything was during Vietnam, and I know the last time Earle got anything period, it was some new engines and new boxcars for their railroad. I am curious to know, when was the last time any sort of ordinance came in. Someone may have answered this question before, but I don't know.
