Since my friend continues to chain smoke nonstop, she is probably an Alco.

I've been here since Railroad.Net 1.0
They said they had a couple more they were working on too. One was a parlor car I think? They talked a lot about future plans and what they wanna do eventually. They purchased 93 acres of land on a farm near Woodstown for a train station there. Looking forward to what they do.
3 acres is enough for a station and parking. Any idea what they are thinking for the other 90 acres? More condo's?
I think they said something about a small freight transload area and one or two other things there.
Word around is that Reading FP-7 coming down from Steamtown for the passenger operation.
HEP for cold weather ops?

Asked them about it while I was there today. They said they aren’t any FP-7 and they’ll post it on the Facebook page when they get another engine or anything new they are doing.

The Reading controlled the CNJ and when the CNJ round roof coaches were ordered by the CNJ they were based on the Reading design and were purchased in anticipation of the CNJ being electrified. The start of the Great Depression terminated the intent to electrify the CNJ.R36 Combine Coach wrote:A Reading coach?

There’s a centerbeam and a hopper car sitting in Woodbury. SRNJ might take them up tomorrow or at some point during the next week…

Hopper might be for the farmers exchange in Woodstown. They mentioned yesterday that they would get a car of fertilizer this week.
10,000 dollars for a locomotive, especially as one as nice as 903, is a crazy good deal. They must not be in running condition or something
