Actually 7 CSX trains are scheduled to unload before that train is scheduled.

So when will he pull into Port Reading?

Happen to catch NS 5277 pulling an afternoon southbound local across the Rahway River.

A great (and colorful) all-SD40 lashup this morning, as PR19 spotted loads at noon. This train should come back out tomorrow morning for anyone who might be in the area.....

I doubt it. Maybe Tuesday morning.

Oh thanks for the info.

Never expect any train from either railroad to continue with out pausing somewhere for a slot into North Jersey. There are simply too many train in the pipe line from each railroad.

Is they're any NS ethanols scheduled to go into/outof the Chemical Coast for tomorrow?

There could/should be a 69 and 67Q sometime today, as both plants have a NS train . The next NS loaded train for Motive arent scheduled to get placed until Tuesday afternoon. Linden has a CSX train waiting to get in, and the next 66Q is holding at Altoona for a slot at Linden.

Thanks for the info!

Thanks for the information. I was in Altoona over the weekend and saw a 66Q head toward the yard early Monday afternoon. I forget what the engines were, but they were all in NS paint. I also saw, from what I was told, was a 68Q tied down in Altoona during the weekend and that had a pair of NS wide cabs on it. I saw it Saturday, Sunday and Monday mornings.

Any NS ethanols going down the Port Reading Secondary tomorrow?

Caught a nice set of power sitting at Sewaren this afternoon.

Back on April 13, caught a nice pair of CNs leading a morning southbound ethanol train through Elizabeth on the Coast.

Can anyone wager a guess as to what the Train ID was for this one?
