C759 Meets Q-418 + NJT RVL & Remote Hump Job Along With YPCA-29
Author: Out_Of_Service

i got to Cove Rd later than usual and Q-418 pulled up and shut off the light which is a hint that something is coming in ... 

C759 soon came around the curve down the ramp to CP-Hatch

418 heading out ...i hadda give the hogger the tap hat extinguished headlight signal ... he thanked me ... i'm sure if didn't the CR maintainer at CP-Hatch would've gave him the headlight signal

759 usually waits at 30th St for permission to access the ladder into the receiving yard ... the remote hump job was working the hill and classification yard ... with car loads waaaay down ... they're not very busy ...

what i first thought was WPCA-20 turned out to be the YPCA-29 shop crew with 20's power who were cut loose early ... CR has been really cutting hours in an effort to reduce OT and expenses ... 29 at River Rd working a cut of shop cars ... they hadda make a double move when the remote switch didn't activate

What are all the yellow and green indicator lights on the yard lead at 30th street? 

Switch indicator lights?

yes ... yard went remote a cpl years ago and remote oprs can set swtches and routes from Kiosks in the yard when they're drilling cars ... road crews coming and going still have to get down and activate the switch manually with buttons on the electric box next to the switch to activate the switch ...
