The two GP20s left recently. Wish I knew what CSX/NS train they left on out of Oak Island.

Speaking of GP20s they’ll soon be putting the 701 back in service. Anyone on here ever see that engine run? It’s a VERY strange engine.

They left on M405 and are supposedly going to Mexico.

I was able to see 701 running once.

The few videos of it I have seen have me wondering what exactly has been done to this engine over the years. I don’t hear a turbocharger in any of the videos so this thing might be one of those weird derated engines. Have also never seen an old cut nose engine where the nose slopes down so sharply.

I didn’t know where else to post this question. I was in Edison the other day and was driving down vineyard road heading towards rt 27. I crossed the old siding that runs in back of the new Amazon warehouse and noticed someone has cleared the forest of trees and brush. The right of way is cleared both ways. You can actually see the rails. I know Amazon doesn’t use rail service? I don’t think anything else is around that would use it. Maybe they are just lifting the rails? Anyone have a comment?

That's the Miracle Run Branch I believe. Raritan Central has been using it for railcar storage. Mainly for plastics hoppers. I'm not sure how much of it is being used though.
