No SA38 tonight.

Northbound NJT meet with Southbound SA31 in Matawan on Thursday May 19, 2022. I guess I was in the right place at the right time. I am not sure if this was a regularly scheduled NJT train as it did not stop.

In about an hour and a half, I've received approximately 100 EOT/HOT packets. The last 6 are indicating the EOT device IS in motion.

They are drilling Woodhaven at this time.

I will attempt to show a picture of last night’s incident at Squankum. Unsure about the video. I may have to mute it due to some of the language used.

Just got word from the field that SA31 has struck a vehicle on Marys Ln in Lakewood. Appeared to be no injuries. The vehicle parked on Marys Ln too close to the rail and got sideswiped. Offender attempted to drive off but was caught by an undercover cop.

Unsure if the engines were damaged but the vehicle was towed away. Train is leaving Lakewood now.

Edit: Yes, the driver was a Lakewood Local if you catch my drift.

@cx4storm By any chance did you happen to pick up any radio communications of what happened in my previous post? Multiple officers were on scene…

Northbound at Oak Glen Rd 6:00 PM

According to my friend, no visible damage to the engine…

Unfortunately no. Lakewood Police have 4 channels. Channels 1, 3, and 4 are encrypted FULL TIME. Channel 2 is in the clear, but the only unit on there is the township wrecker.
I was in and out of the radio room all day, so it's possible I missed the call for the tow.
I have a friend in Virginia that's a former Lakewood resident. He listens remotely via a private encoder I have set up. I'll ask him if he heard anything.
