After that one of the locals that drilled the lumber yard in the Middletown Red Bank area would occasionally run to Bay Head and loop the train before heading back. Finally in the slower months, Conrail would run a pair of engines out of Browns to Bay Head and back to keep crews qualified. This stopped just before takeover.Have any estimated years on those, especially the lumber loads? Also, is there any chance that we will ever see businesses on the NJCL south of South Amboy, allowed to have a siding built and have freight come off of the NJCL again? Or is that history now?
