to the hotel, which of course parallels the tracks), I noticed a stack train sitting at Bound Brook. \u00a0Apparently CSX train Q191 was waiting at CP-BOUND BROOK for three hours for another train to drop a few cars in Manville yard. \u00a0Also, behind Q191 was the CSX train I saw earlier in Piscataway &#8211; Q439. \u00a0So I stopped in Bound Brook for a bit, took a few shots, and when I heard over the radio that it would be at least another hour for Q300 &#8211; the job in Manville yard &#8211; to finish up, I headed back to the hotel for the evening.<\/p>\n[cpg_album:767]\n<p>And that was it for the first day of September.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for looking!<br \/>\nTom<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the days progressively getting shorter, time to shoot outside of work hours is getting limited. \u00a0But that doesn&#8217;t mean I put the cameras down and not shoot. \u00a0Just means I have to work with the cards I&#8217;ve been dealt. \u00a0So while I was on my trip to New Jersey, I headed out to shoot [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[247,248,15,244,168,169,178,455,456,347],"class_list":{"0":"post-1957","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-rail_photography","7":"tag-bound-brook","8":"tag-conrail","9":"tag-csx","10":"tag-lehigh-line","11":"tag-new-jersey","12":"tag-new-jersey-transit","13":"tag-norfolk-southern","14":"tag-piscataway-township","15":"tag-q191","16":"tag-q439","17":"czr-hentry"},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nanosphoto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1957","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nanosphoto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nanosphoto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nanosphoto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nanosphoto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1957"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/nanosphoto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1957\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nanosphoto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1957"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nanosphoto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1957"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nanosphoto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1957"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
