The M&E sent over ALCo C424 # 18 today to Passaic Jct in Saddle Brook NJ to pick up some cars. These were several coaches plus a caboose that had comes south from Binghamton on an SU-100 a week or so ago. Destination is Morristown. I believe they are owned by the M&E, but not sure. Anyway, at about 10: 20 AM, the light engine showed up and came across Midland Ave, tied on to the cars from the east end, and then shoved the train back out and up to BT interlocking. Here the train waitied for one westbound NJT train before shoving west on to the main. they shoved on to track 1, cleared the signals, then crossed over to track 2 and headed east for morristown. Here are some images from that move:

First, the 18 comes into the yard at Midland Avenue:
