What I dont get....
Washington to Hudson yard and back should take about 6 hours. Maybe 8 if the NS holds them up for a long time. There's only 1 consignee..the plastics place in Stewartsville...they get 1 or 2 cars a week. And going east....to Lake Jct and back...with a few places to work...that's another 8 hr day. So who is going to take cars to Totowa and to other places on the boonton line. Or to the Gladsone br. I dont think u could make it washington to totowa and back in 12 hours with work along the way.
So...are we looking at
Day 1...Washington to hudson yard and back
Day 2..Washington to Totowa or boonton line customers or Gladstone br, crew outlaws on the road (maybe make it back to Lake Jct?)
Days 3..pick up power somewhere closer to dover or lake jct...run to Hudson yard, and back to washington....
and repeat, 6 days a week......
Or maybe washington to Lake Jct and back on day 2...and a DRRR crew would switch the boonton and M&E lines.
Im also just gonna make a rash assumption that there is only going to be 1 crew active a day. IDK really. with 1 crew and 2 NS GP-38's, that would likely be operating with one on each end of the train.
Kean..... inquiring minds want to know....
