[NJ] Huge fire Lehigh Line mp 38
Author: Lackawanna484

Adjacent to the NS Lehigh Line just west of US 206. That highway has been closed, as is Roycefield Road.

I think BR&W has an industrial switcher located within that facility that does some switching. An aerial view from Google Earth appeared to show what looks like autoracks inside the facility.

The major highway 206 has reopened, although the fire continues.

BDRV GP9 #752 is on the far west end of the complex and is fine.  The rest of the buildings are another story.

Fire lasted a day.
I heard a lot of Somerset County's paper records as well as all of its voting machines went up in smoke.
ATF has taken over and has cut off most media communication and scolded social media for taking pictures.
