New Brunswick Southern Railway

You can now see the entire north side of the McAdam station as of 22:54 ADT.

NBSR 121 was into McAdam @ 20:10 ADT, NBSR/EMR/MNR 64XX/64XX/64XX, 26 mixed freight(0 autoracks, 37 ballast cars, 5 hi-cube boxcars, 2 white tanks, 7 black tanks, 12 center beams), 56 wells, 96 containers(approx.), 2 empty wells.

3028 west arrived at McAdam at 05:33 with NBSR GP40-2's 3028 and 3095 and three passenger cars. Will load and depart for Saint Stephen at 11:00.

EMR 908? is currently switching McAdam at 11:12 local time. Large cut of NBSR owned ballast cars are in the train.

NBSR 506 running as the passenger train departed around 11:00 with 3095 on point.

NBSR 908 on the move east out of McAdam at 11:23 AM with ballast cars. They picked up some MOW guys so I guess they are doing a ballast dump somewhere on the McAdam sub.

NBSR 121 was into McAdam @ 21:42 ADT, EMR 64XX/MNR 64XX/NBSR 64XX, 63 mixed freight(16 autoracks, 14 hi-cube boxcars, 2 covered hopper, 3 white tanks, 14 black tanks, 14 center beams), 68 wells, 145 containers.

This is the best night viewing I've had so far. I think intermodal counts, as well as everything else, should be pretty accurate.

230 containers going east might be the most ever on one train. Wonder why there's so many going at once

The view @ McAdam has been adjusted so there is a better view of the southern track. Keep an eye out for the NBSR "caboose" on the 506.

There was 292 before it got truncated at what I presume to be the border.

NBSR 121 was by McAdam Station at 20:18 ADT with 4 SD70s, 20 mixed freight, 101 wells/199 containers, 15 empty autoracks.

Good view of 506 switching before and after 121 went by.
