Bennett's E-8's are operating? They have PTC? More likely some special with that ugly NJT PRR painted ALP, i would think..

Engine 5711 was interchanged to NJT yesterday for a special train.

Now is that E8 gonna sit in Hoboken all weekend or hitch a ride to Bay Head on the anniversary train? Been getting conflicting info in that regard.

Thx for the info. Knew there would have to be a report of 5711 moving, somewhere...

South at Sycamore Ave 8:17 AM going very slowly. Cars were heavily swaying left and right.

Approaching Wayside Road at 8:48 AM after a very slow, long, and painful battle up the hill at Pine Brook.

Wayside and Hamilton toad crossings are stuck on even though the train is well past…

Won't the toads cross if the lights are still on?

No toads over there but there is at Asbury Ave. Poor drainage there so they leave their eggs where the water pools on the tracks.

They sure do cross when it rains hard during the summer!

Oh wait, meant to say road not toad. Stupid autocorrect!!!

Train through Farmingdale at 10:40 AM

The train has stopped just beyond DCS LAKEWOOD…

They stopped to split the train. They left the last six cars at DCS LAKEWOOD and are continuing south…
