Metuchen Yard Operations and Vicinity

Pumpers, the tracks you speak of are the old Metuchen receiving yard which ran between Lincoln Tower and Edison Interlocking. Back in the 90's, they were used as overflow tracks for inbound and outbound traffic from the yard at Whitman Avenue. I believe the receiving yard had 5 tracks back then. Also the Amazon and Fed Ex warehouses next to the receiving yard occupy the site of the Mobil Chemical plant. The cars for Mobil were stored at the west end of the receiving yard.

Here’s the pole they took the sign from.

Does RC currently have any customers in Heller Industrial Park? Wondering because the track that leads to it appears to be used for car storage at the moment…

I hear there's one customer in Heller that gets a random car.

The guy that gets giant wood chip cars? I see his place on satellite view but idk if he’s still serviced.

Dependable Foods in HP gets a car now and then. Yannuzzi (the scrap customer) does not anymore.

Dependable foods? Hmm. I wonder if that’s one of the companies selling kosher foods to Lakewood. I know they get at least some of their foods from a guy served by RC.

Thanks for the info.

OI-32 has permission to head west at LINCOLN interlocking on track one. They have CSX 4408 in the lead.

The O track was being fidgety

I heard about that. Didn’t report since I didn’t exactly know what they were talking about.

Been listening in to try and find out when the Metuchen transfer runs. Problem is it runs at random during crackhead hours. Will catch it eventually, even it means becoming a nightcrawler lol.

RC-2 finishing up for the day. Haven’t seen the GP20s run in a while.
