CR on the Southern Secondary

Thanks for the updates today. Any tracking of the train through the overnight would be appreciated.

Train moved through Shrewsbury at 0340 hours; not sure if they parked it at Patterson Ave. or went back to Browns.

Thanks for the info. The train got back to Browns Yard. I saw the 4423 just east of the yard office mid morning.

I was reading https://www.njtransit.com/pdf/NJStateRailPlan.pdf;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; page 4-11 and saw this. Maybe has something to do with the work going on?

Preservation of Rail Rights of Way
...In addition, homeland security considerations have raised interest in preserving and reactivating the military rail
network. Over the past several decades, rail abandonments in New Jersey have effectively
severed rail access to major Department of Defense installations in the state, most notably
Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in Ocean and Burlington counties. Preservation of rail
lines serving the military installations, and recreation of rail access to facilities that have
been cut off from the rail network, is critical to maintaining the viability of these Depart-
ment of Defense facilities and retaining the local employment and economic benefits that
these installations represent

Really would be something to see the mile long ordinance trains barreling along the tracks again

Did the train go back toward Browns last night? If not, I will try to find them and chase them after school. Being that it is so nice out, I hope they didn't go back; I need an excuse to enjoy this spring-like weather

Quick work by the crew last night, train was eastbound through Shrewsbury at 0110 hours (it's frequently 0230-0330). Don't know if they parked it, or returned......
