Here’s the last catchup from last week’s New Jersey trip.\u00a0 I didn’t head out in the morning, but did get a chance to take advantage of some nice evening sunlight after work.\u00a0 So I decided to head down to Flemington, NJ to check out the spot at Stanton Station Road.\u00a0 I also did a bit of exploring and found another spot south of Station Station Road that gave a really nice view of westbounds.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
After I got out of work, I headed straight for Stanton Station Road in Flemington to see what I could come across.\u00a0 Just as I pulled in there, the crossing activated, and I saw an eastbound NS train bearing down on me.\u00a0 So I grabbed my camera, and rattled off a few shots as the train approached.<\/p>\n[cpg_imagefixthumb:8887] [cpg_imagefixthumb:8886] [cpg_imagefixthumb:8885]\n
OK, off to a good start.\u00a0 Not long after the train disappeared around the corner, I heard something over the scanner – NS train 33K clear CP-53 westbound.\u00a0 OK, here comes another!<\/p>\n
A few moments later 33K appeared from around the corner to the south of the crossing.<\/p>\n[cpg_imagefixthumb:8884] [cpg_imagefixthumb:8883] [cpg_imagefixthumb:8882]\n
Not too bad for a little while at the crossing.\u00a0 Well, at that point, the scanner went silent.\u00a0 So instead of sitting around – the shadows were creeping in even further – I decided to explore a bit.<\/p>\n
After driving a bit south, I turned down River Road, which runs along side the tracks, and headed back north.\u00a0 I found a nice spot that had some sweet light and a nice looking barn in the background.\u00a0 Now I just needed a train.<\/p>\n
About 10 minutes later, I heard what sounded like horns to the south.\u00a0 A quick check of the map showed me there was a grade crossing a couple miles south.\u00a0 OK, cool, a westbound NS job should be by me soon.<\/p>\n
Not long after that, I heard the unmistakable sound of a freight train coming towards me.\u00a0 Just then, NS train 65J – a loaded trash train – came into view and rolled past me<\/p>\n[cpg_imagefixthumb:8881] [cpg_imagefixthumb:8880] [cpg_imagefixthumb:8879] [cpg_imagefixthumb:8878]\n
Sweet!\u00a0 Then the scanner went silent again.\u00a0 I waited around for a while, but nothing was doing.\u00a0 So I shot what looked to be a deer carcass along the tracks.<\/p>\n[cpg_imagefixthumb:8877] [cpg_imagefixthumb:8876]\n
I guess he didn’t stop look & listen…<\/p>\n
After waiting a few more minutes to the silent scanner, I decided to head out and call it a day.\u00a0 Well, not really a day – I ended up heading a bit further south to shoot the New Hope & Ivyland in New Hope, PA and Black River & Western in Ringoes, NJ under the stars.\u00a0 But those will come out at a later date.\u00a0 Stay tuned for that…<\/p>\n
Thanks for looking!
