I've heard that the second track is owned by the Army which would possibly be why they're not maintaining it like they do with the other track.

They just finished redoing the Kings Hwy crossing and they took out the second track at the crossing like they've done with all the new crossing projects. They ran a test train today with an SW1200, a VO, and about 15 cars...

There's only one Matawan local left (Train 3441) which I'm pretty sure deadheads back New York and turns right at the station.

All MARC sets, and all on the Paoli-Thorndale Line now. This morning, the MARC sets were on trains 9524, 9526, 9506, and 9538, respectively. The last one had SEPTA cab 2408 leading with the MARC coaches all reversed (MARC logo towards the cab car end of the train instead of the usual locomotive end...

It is now called the Natco Industrial Track which is a hold over from Conrail who operated freight service to IFF in Union Beach until October 1983. Every once in a while you'll see some MOW equipment stored there and I believe a couple winters ago NJ Transit stored a few trainsets there when there ...

I'm curious as to what customers remained in this time period as well as traf...
