Train was at Woodhaven as of this morning. Apparently the engine was off, so I don’t know when they will head east.

Train had its Lights Off in Lakewood as of an Hour ago. Ready to head back to Brown's yard whenever they pick it up as they have already drilled Woodhaven
The train should be departing Lakewood shortly for Browns

The next week there will be a contractor on the Southern Sec measuring for Plate F clearance.

I've been here since Railroad.Net 1.0
A daylight return? Sounds like an excuse to head over to the Auction!

It doesn't matter which side of the tracks you're from, the train still rolls the same
My perspective of the SA-91 today! Enjoy!

Tinton Ave.
GS Parkway (4)
US Navy rail
US Navy Esperance Rd.
NJ 33/34
NJ 70
Any possibly low hanging utility wires
The only other consideration is turn radius. There are to large curves, Eatontown and South Lakewood. Some of the stub sidings may also have tight radius turns.
Perhaps the contractor is being hired for track geometry as well as Plate F clearances? Why now?

Just a guess that the lumber customer wants to be able to receive some wood in Plate F boxcars
