Nostalgia & History > PRR Trenton - Fort Dix , NJ , Question - Help NeededDate: 12/02/22 12:20 PRR Trenton - Fort Dix , NJ , Question - Help Needed Author: CPMorris I was looking at the March, 1945 Official Guide To Railways and
found the following - a "Daily, except Sunday," non-stop, round-trip between Trenton NJ and Fort Dix, train numbers "ND5" and "ND6." What does ND mean? I have looked at the "reference marks" but there's no explanation. Also, maybe this was a "war-time" train? I thank you in advance for your answers.

Pennsylvania Railroad delivered coal to the Camp (later Fort) via the Pemberton Branch, I believe. A military camp history says the camp burned 50 tons of coal daily

have been a freight or military supply train looking at the schedule. Date: 12/02/22 14:00 Re: PRR Trenton - Fort Dix , NJ , Question - Help Needed Author: thebluecomet Not sure what the "ND" means, but a Trenton-Fort Dix routing would probably have been via the C&A and the Kinkora Branch.

It's sickening to see how much has disappeared since 1945. Thanks! Date: 12/02/22 14:07 Re: PRR Trenton - Fort Dix , NJ , Question - Help Needed Author: timz Sure nuff -- there it is on page 268

I think the D means Fort Dix. 5 would be the NB train and 6 would be the SB. --- Ken
