Eastern Railroad Discussion > High and Wide on Black River and Western. Three Bridge

When I arrived at Three Bridges, NJ yesterday to wait for the Erie unit to show, I stumbled upon an interesting operation on the Black River and Western. NS had delivered a high and wide transformer load to the Black River and Western. A rigging company had just finished transferring the load from a depressed center car to a highway trailer and the Black River and Western pup was doing the shifting.

1. The load on the truck. Black River and Western shifter in the background.
2. The empty rail car and loaded trailer
3. BR+W shifter pulls the empty rail car away from the transfer location.

here in south jersey a power co. was upgrading their grid and quite a few H&W generators were delivered and unloaded on the Salem Running Track ... i shadowed the one move from Camden and stayed and watched the transfer to a 18 axle low boy trailer ... no crane ... they use a jack and lateral slide process ...

What an awesome series, especially enjoy the last (of the Mack).

There are a pair of large power substations located within a few miles of this transfer. The on on US 202 had been undergoing an expansion.

Might be headed there.
