A whole slew of trains in the last 24 hours

Well, I can’t say the Lehigh Line here in northern New Jersey is dead.  Ended up catching two trains before work this morning, and another five this evening – one of which was at two spots.  Can’t complain about numbers like that…especially in comparison to what I’ve got to shoot back home – a couple freights a day…  Well, also I headed up to Morristown last night to check out the Morristown & Erie shops – not much going on, but I did take a couple shots while there.

It’s getting late, so I’ll keep things brief.  Last night I headed up to Morristown to see what was outside the Morristown & Erie shops and if they’d be photographable from the Staples parking lot.  When I got there, there was only one ALCo outside of the shops, and an FL9 on the side, but you could only see the rear of it.  So I only shot the ALCo.

And today I headed out at dawn and set up shop in Manville by the water tower.  I got two trains in the morning fog there – westbound autorack train 11J, which was soon followed by eastbound intermodal train 22V.  Train 212 was also in the picture behind 22V, but I didn’t have time to stick around.

Then finally was this evening.  After work, I headed down to Flemington and managed to catch empty trash train 64J (well, the tail end of them), manifest 32A, local H76, loaded trash train 65J and manifest 33K.  I also bagged 65J again further west in Annandale when they followed H76 west.

And that was it for today.  Not a bad Wednesday…

Thanks for looking!
