Port Reading Yard Operations and Vicinity

There aren't many red/white/blue engines out there like that but they do come into CR.

Albeit not often. Last one was the BC Rail heritage unit about three months ago. Before that it was in Port Newark about a year ago and I managed to snap a picture of it from the roads in there. Before that we had a BC Rail Dash 8 cowl body come through on CSX Q410. (now M410)

Come to think of it, whatever happened to the days when all those wierd leasing engines were very frequently seen up here? FURX, CETX, etc engines?

Leasing unit came in on a Motiva train.

Those 're some of the better leasers that come through.

More Kansas City power in North Jersey.

Cool. Might go check that out later this week if it’s still there.

Say, has there been any progress on the new wye leg at RON and the siding extension at BARB? Been wondering about that.

A lot of those leaser units you mentioned were used by CSX a lot on the heels of the CR split. Long since no longer a need for them.

PR-19 pulling into Port Reading 4:08 PM

BNSF 8084
WFRX 8914 (ex BNSF SD70MAC)
NS 1157

And we'd had the NS South white&green engine over there a few days ago.

Yeah me and a pal of mine were taking pictures of it when PR19 went past suddenly with the BNSF/WFRX combo. Flew to PR real quick to catch it pull in.

Speaking of oddball engines, be on the lookout for a Canadian National SD75I along the Garden State Sec. It’s coming down on CSX B705.

Why are they going down the Garden State, its a Philly train?

Oh it’s a Philly train? I thought B713 was the only Philly train

Did some walking on the D&R Canal Trail around Bound Brook Saturday and caught a few trains. Very cool place to check out.

Looks like you caught 6K4/64K or 6E4/64E, the former being more common.
