  • Met up with Dean and did some NYS&W and NJT railfanning. Unfortunately Dean was late for the NYS&W so you will note his crestfallen and disconsolate mood earlier on. We saw the usual great variety of NJT power including those classic EMD’s plus the”Armed Forces” engine #4502 with a grandiose K5LLA horn which we heard twice. We also caught NS local H70 with 2 SD60E’s. Dean has an unforgettable opinion about that railroad that could be made more unforgettable but he respects my desire for a Family Channel 😀😀😀. A fun afternoon/evening overall!!!!

    One of my favorite semi road, but yard switching is the General Motors EMD SW-1O01. little brother SW-1500s or later the MP 1500s. Man, I couldn't tell you how many times I got a ride in the Cab of Conrail Locomotive.

    2X EMD SD70M-2’s. Power to spare and a railfan’s heaven. And your comment about 1st Generation EMD power is demonstrably and nearly encyclopedically correct. Thanks, Tim!!!

    What amazing collection of catches, horn shows and EMD Engine roars! Love those EMD GP38s and PL42ACs, Wish I could catch this much action when I Railfan as I've been to some of these locations before.

      @@ariesarethebest271 No 😀😀😂 Mainly because it isn’t as busy there as it once was and the locomotive power is boring. He is getting sick of being there. He’s a city guy. I’d probably like living there but it isn’t perfect. I don’t want to get into the reason why.

      It'll be a while. They were slated for retirement, but because of the PL42AC's unreliability, they're gonna stick around for a while.
