As some of you may know, a trio of New York, Susquehanna and Western SD70Ms that are being leased by RailAmerica were sent from the Florida East Coast Railway to the New England Central for some repairs. Well, as luck had it, CSX spotted the three on the east end […]
After work yesterday, I wanted to take advantage of the remaining sunshine of the day, as clouds were supposed to start moving in. So I headed for Bound Brook to see what was going on. As it turned out, that was the first of four stops in Bound Brook, Manville […]
