Hi;
I have been monitoring CSX River sub traffic over the years, and able to pick up the EDD's at MP 7.2 and 20.5 (and sometimes Stony Point). For this past week I have noticed that trains passing over the EDD at 20.5 are not moving very fast - never more than 25 mph, and one northbound just a while ago was doing only 12mph (it was a long train). A while back (I don't recall how far back - I haven't been monitoring consistently) the detector at 20.5 was reporting trains at 49mph. The speed in that area has always been 50, so what's up now? I haven't been hearing of any slow orders. Usually for a northbound I would hear the orders being given at North Bergen.
Uh - sorry about the heading for this post. The detector in question is not actually in Nyack - it's Orangeburg.
