They are placing equipment and material at the Howell Rd. crossing in preparation for the new crossing.
Also, in Farmingdale by the switch, 3 blue pickups and a crew going over plans for what I presume is work between Southard Ave and Railroad Ave.

Yep, I saw that as well. I think it's likely that they will be doing Yellowbrook - Fairfield; I noticed that there was quite a bit of rail missing from the pile they have by the Main St crossing, and when I passed by the (future) crossing at Yellowbrook, I noticed some stacks of rail being placed on the side that hasn't been done yet.

Last time they had 17 cars, 752 stalled on the .75 percent grade at Pine Brook Road. They had to leave half the train there then come back for it. So they’ll probably have to do that again.

Don’t know if they got cars for anyone else but if they do, that’s gonna complicate things.
