Almost every time I go past the scrap dealer there are gons or hoppers being loaded. The unfortunate thing is that the siding is across Enterprise from the scrapyard, and transferring scrap from trucks to the railcars ties up traffic. Plus the loaders leak hydraulic fluid, and sit on pads of 'diaper' material. What a mess... There is also Certified Steel, off Whitehead, and I believe they have rail service; there is a siding into their fairly new building. Not sure about Homosote on the RDG side, though-Maps has cars at the scrapyard...

It was facing south/west waiting just outside of the station and interlocking. What train might have this been?Assuming MO = Morrisville, PA, it would probably be the aforementioned WPMO25
rr503 wrote:Yep, most of the Morrisville yard power is NS and the WPMO25 is the only regular freight job that operates on the Corridor in the Trenton area. Sounds like it had finished its work and was waiting for permission to head back to Morrisville.nick11a wrote:I saw a train that appeared to have two NS units and a bunch of cars sitting just north/east of Trenton at about 11:40 PM at night on 6/30.
