So no one is saying anything about the NY&A derailment?? Apparently on 5-12-21 evening, NY&A derailed just east of Jamaica station near Hall Tower. All of Thursday and at least this morning, 5 CDEX hoppers have been left just east of Jamaica with GP38-2 CITX 402. At least 2 of the CDEX are o...

261/268/159 left Coastal westbound with 29 loads of C&D about 8:45 PM last night. Coastal's tracks were pretty much emptied out except for what looked like two empties in the darkness. Funny thing I saw the outbound cars to CSX at 6:45 AM this morning and in addition to cov. hoppers and boxcars ...

I know this post may fit better in CSXT Fresh Pond - Oak Point but it raises a question. This morning at 6:45 AM, as my LIRR train went under the NY Connecting bridge, loaded CDEX cars were being moved into place outbound to CSX. Even saw the power which was: 3 blue GP38-2's ! Looked liked two GATX ...

GP38-2's #261 and 268 seen last night at Posillico picking up empty stone cars at about 7:20 PM. Probably were going to pick loads from Coastal but I couldn't stick around.

Last night at about 5:00 PM, a string of empty GATX hoppers over the LIRR main on the NY Connecting. Looked to be empty so guessing the returning P & W train. In recent times, never caught it so early. This morning, an outbound sting of cars waiting for CSX at 7:00 AM. Boxcars, a number of tankc...

Nothing earth-shattering but finally something to report. 2 blue leased GMTX GP38-2s heading towards Queens Blvd over the LIRR main this morning at 6:45 AM. They were pulling a long cut of loaded CDEX gons, setting the outbound freight for CSX.

Hello Steve: Maybe Greg Grice could confirm that WestRock (former Southern Container) is still actually receiving boxcars of paper rolls. I find it hard to believe that they stopped. They might be the only manufacturer of corrugated boxes left on Long Island. Also, please check your "Maspeth&qu...

And now MP15Ac 158 was stationed as the protect from yesterday.

Work continues on the Port Washington Branch. Yesterday at around 5:00 PM and this morning at 7 AM, there was a concrete tie train on Eastbound Main west of Woodside. MP15's 172 and 165, about a dozen flats loaded with concrete ties and a track construction machine started laying ties east of the fl...

The MP-15AC's are definitely out and about on maintenance trains. But there hasn't been a Jamaica Protect MP for about 2 weeks now.

I'm still commuting to the city for work by the LIRR. For the past couple of weeks, the MofW forces have been out in force on the Port Washington eastbound main. It first started with a slew of trucks and LORAM equipment. Then came a train of concrete ties. New welded rail had been lain next to the ...

Just saw a youtube video showing NY&A 155 heading south through Cortlandt, NY

Soon to be back on home rails?

There are 4 M-3s on the end of a track in Holban yard right along the Babylon line. Looks like they will be heading out for scrapping soon. Difficult to see the actual numbers.

Thanks, gregorygrice, for the replies. You answered the question exactly the first time. I'm sure CSX or Cross Harbor block their trains for delivery to the NY&A. I was asking if CSX does any blocking of those NY&A cars for the various NY&A destinations and customers. As Gregory stated, ...

In my usual trips to the city, I've caught strings of cars (look to be outbound to Oak Point) as my LIRR train speeds under the NY Connecting tracks. A thought occurred that maybe gregoryrice could answer. Does CSX block (sort) and cars for the NY&A at either Selkirk or Oak Point? Or do cars for...
