| Description: |
One of the drawbacks of Conrail Shared Assets territory is that we get the same units rotated in and out all year long; this weeks weekly CSAO local SA-31 has the same power and car count (16) as last weeks edition, but with the 4423 leading this time. On the other hand, to still see a freight train through Monmouth and Ocean counties in 2015 is a blessing in itself, so we'll take what NS & CSX gives us. |

Only 8 cars this week, but a decent car count for the middle of winter, where inbound loads of lumber are destined for the construction industry. |

Standing on hallowed ground, in a railroad sense; this location, known as Eatontown Jct. more than 100 years ago, was where the Raritan & Delaware Bay RR (later to be part of the CNJ) first laid rails in 1860. The photographer is standing on top of the remnants of old ties which once held the rails of the passing siding which facilitated the connection to Long Branch, NJ, due east of here on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. Today, the original R&DB RR is still operating as the Conrail Shared Assets Operations Southern Secondary, some 157 years later, and hosts a once-weekly train, symbol SA-31, seen here heading south (timetable west) towards Lakewood, NJ. |

No joke, this day was sunny until 10 minutes before the train arrived. Conrail Shared Assets local SA-31 heads slowly through central Jersey on a warm, humid day in the Garden State, headed to the large lumber yard in Lakewood, some 16 miles away. |

A quick cellphone shot of a rare daylight return trip for the Southern Secondary's only train. Making the usual run at midnight last night, Conrail Shared Assets crew SA-3 pauses in Shrewsbury before entering Red Bank and the NJ Transit North Jersey Coast Line for the trip back to Browns Yard in Sayreville. |

Shrewsbury, NJ, is a quiet little town, although you could argue that no town in central NJ is 'quiet' anymore. Today's crew on Conrail Shared Assets local SA-31 has a couple of things to deal with at the Patterson Ave. grade crossing. Because this is a once-weekly train, some vehicles, and some wildlife, are not used to seeing a train in this location, although the grade crossing protection is functioning normally this day. The pickup driver seems unfazed by the approaching train (albeit at 10 mph), but the two deer in front of the train are running for their lives, and are about to make a sharp right turn directly in front of the lead unit & head for home. |

Oh Deer! With the demolition of an old building and 3 to 4 acres of wooded area just a few hundred feet west of this photo, these deer have recently been made homeless, and wander about the tracks and surrounding neighborhood. I am happy to report that neither the crew on Conrail local SA-31 or the young bucks on the ground were harmed on this day. Everyone went home safe with quite a story to tell their families tonight.... |

Conrail Shared Assets local SA-31 makes her last trip for 2017 on a very cold (air temp 18, wind chill 6) early winters day with 17 cars for 4 customers on the line. Late afternoon runs on this tree lined route makes it difficult to shoot the crew during December & January.... |
