Delaware and Raritan River Railroad-General Discussion

Looks like the Southbound wye has been tamped and connected the switch at Southard Ave. There is still equipment parked on it however.

I do wonder if it will be used this upcoming week

Merry Christmas everybody!

Train to Lakewood today (Tuesday)?

Shouldn't be. Conrail never gave them cars.

Thanks for the info

Apparently, JB2 isn't running today...

I wonder if Conrail dropped any cars for DRRR in Jamesburg this week. Seems highly unlikely.

JB-1 ran yesterday, with a single bulkhead railcar, to pick up three(!) boxcars from Earle, and I believe they also picked up the tanker for Laird's at Brick Recycling.

Of the three boxcars they picked up, two were from last week's drop, no idea where the third one came from. If it was a boxcar that Earle owns, that means another transfer will occur when/if it is returned. I do wonder what was in those boxcars, and I do wonder if this transfer will happen again, or if it's a one-time only thing.

Well, if nothing else, maybe it will get the powers-that-be at Earle (and perhaps MDL) to think "Hmmm- this might be useful". We can hope, though it probably would take a major national security threat to change things.

SA31 dropped 11 or so cars for Woodhaven at Jamesburg about 5 minutes ago and picked up freehold empties and 2 cars from Earle that C&D picked up yesterday.

Lakewood run tomorrow?

The remains of the whitesville road crossing got hit by a car again.

Hey all.

I often lurk and read but don't post much. First off want to wish everyone a happy healthy new years.

Bracdude you mentioned SA31 dropping off cars for C&D Friday around 2:30. I work in the Dayton area in Heller industrial park and leave work around 2:30-3:00 Fridays. I caught a train going under 130 on my way home so turned off toward Dayton assuming I could catch them run around and chase a couple crossings(success). Assuming the train I saw was SA31? It seemed like it was a very healthy train with a lot of cars, and a lot of cars loaded with wood. I am guessing these were the cars for Woodhaven?

After having worked in the South Brunswick/Dayton area the past five or so years, it was cool to finally get lucky with timing to catch a train use the run around in Dayton after work before I head back home.

Happy New Year All.

I have been hearing that bridge work is supposed to start sooner rather than later, and that they are not waiting until the Spring to start the work.

Per Facebook someone heard the train in Freehold. Can anyone confirm a Woodhaven run today?
