Delaware and Raritan River Railroad-General Discussion

For those of you who obviously dislike the Chesapeake and Delaware, it's operations, and equipment, feel free to to join the Facebook C&d fan page, and spew your crap over there.

Now is anyone certain that the startup date is July 1st? If so, what’s the schedule gonna be?

Yes .

NSH76 should pick up DRR Southern Div engine from Three Bridges Monday to take to Allentown for 18G to Oak Island.

Look for qualification runs after July 4th. Probably no revenue runs until Thursday or Friday, 7/7, 7/8.

What about Freehold and their qualification/revenue runs? Also, for certain the 1888 is for Freehold?

Hello,

I can confirm that the Caboose is still in Oak Island with the 1888!

They must’ve moved it to another part of the yard where no one can see it.

Has the transfer of the second engine occurred? If so, what engine is it?

Looks like 2005 is headed there.

That piece of better not be for the Southern

Try to restrain your enthusiasm! Some of us are trying to sleep !

I believe it is for the southern

Sorry, but I have no enthusiasm for that rolling scrap pile. It would make for a better jungle gym for the Lakewood locals!

What's wrong with it

What ISNT wrong with it??? It has severe flat spots on the wheels, smokes worse than any volcano you’ve ever seen, burns/leaks oil, faulty brakes (last I saw it) No PTC even though it says it’s equipped on the side, smells vile, and runs like it’s made out of concrete.

Speaking of engines,

Supposedly OI-16 has C&D 1888 on it and will bring it to Browns.

I hope they send two more just like it to piss you off.
