Empties to Fresh Kills |
| Description: |
Conrail's BY-1 job based out of Bay Way leads a 19-car train of empty New York City trash containers with an ex-Erie Lackawanna SD45-2 to the Fresh Kills landfill on Staten Island. The train is running below high voltage utility lines that gives this short stretch of former Baltimore & Ohio track the appearance of an electrified railroad. Off in the distance the remains of the Gothals Bridge can be seen shrouded by the two modern replacements which will soon finally replace the original 80-year old span once and for all. |

MACin' on the P&H |
| Description: |
A former CSX SD80MAC is on the point of NS 212 screams through Newark on Conrail's Passaic & Harsimus Line. The priority intermodal train from Atlanta, GA to Croxton Yard is just a few miles from its destination but as usual the busy traffic patterns in the North Jersey terminals will cause this train to crawl to a finish from this point on. |

C&O for Progress |
| Description: |
The biggest conspiracy to hit the rails in some time moves around Oak Island's service facility at 91 Bay after arriving on NS 18G a few hours before. This former CSX SD70ACe was unofficially made into a C&O heritage locomotive over the last few days. It's new patches have caused quite a stir amongst the buff community over whether it's an elaborate Photoshop job or not. I assure you I was not paid by men in black suits and unmarked cars to continue the lie. Or was I... |

91 Bay |
| Description: |
In order to continue progress the C&O patched PRLX leaser is spotted on the fuel pad at Oak Island's 91 Bay. Later in the evening this train will head west for Allentown and Conway on NS 19G. The rumor mill continues to spin about whether or not this unofficial patch job will be covered over sooner than later. |

The Poo-Poo Choo-Choo |
| Description: |
New Jersey is really good at producing garbage. So much so that NS has their own dedicated daily train to take out the trash. It's earned a handful of nick names. Garbage Express, The Stink and the Poo-Poo Choo-Choo are amongst some of the ones that stand out. Pictured here is an endangered standard cab SD70 leading the eastbound empty portion of this trash turn arriving at the west end of Oak Island Yard as it crosses Amtrak's Northeast Corridor. Not to far from here the train will come to a stop after taking headroom on the P&H to shove down towards the Northeast Corridor at CP-Stock until a Conrail crew is ready to handle the train for delivery to South Kearny. |

Train of Many Colors |
| Description: |
A bright mix of international containers make their way through Oak Island Yard as the outbound containers from Chicago approach their destination at Port Newark. The train might be reaching the end of the line but the containers still have an entire ocean to cross before reaching home. |
