How are you getting to HOB on Saturday morning ?
BTW, Pine is in Whippany coupled to Magnolia right now. The 3 NS coaches are pristine in external appearance !

I think we transfer onto that train at Newark-Broad from our Morristown eastbound local.

I was thinking of taking the first morning train out Glen Ridge.. I think it gets me to Hoboken at 7:38 am or so!! How about you??
I originally thought of doing this, but the return schedule is somewhat problematic. If we return slightly late, you may end up waiting in Newark Broad or Hoboken until the 8:08. From where I'm coming from, I'll need to take the bus.I'm assuming a late arrival back in HOB than the approx. 6pm advertised....SOP for a trip this long....we'll see.

Personally, been planning on that 8ish departure from HOB back to NWK-BROAD and then home on NJT. A full day of railfanning !!
Is there a hypothetical time that the train will be in the Philipsburg area?Well, you've got two chances to see it....before lunch on it's way out to Bethlehem and after lunch ( 90 minutes ) back up the Washington Secondary. I would imagine you'll have lotsa company at the old P-burg station !
BTW, have you talked with Mike S. at all lately???Have not....assuming he's still out West somewhere.
