out of curiosity, has there been any 'new' Freight shippers on the NEC since amtrak took it over? Could there be, or is it all legacy?

NS-63W mty Stone Train rumbling up #2 Track at Prospect Park Sta with a very colorful leader, NS 4000 the "Class" AC44C6M in her Blue & Silver livery.
On a different note: It would appear that H86 very rarely runs North anymore using the NEC between HOOK & PHIL. I've been catching it
pretty regularly thru Essington on CR's Chester Sec.
