Conrail let CMSL run to Milmay?
How's that work? Trackage rights?

Nice shots - would make a nice freight leader for a photo charter.

Is that the standard "holiday" consist?

What's the status of the Lehigh Valley F unit?

Yes. Conrail inspects CMSL's equipment prior to allowing the train to run on Conrail (Conrail trackage rights on NJDOT's railroad) between Tuckahoe and Richland.

This is the standard Santa train consist for 2012.
The "Lehigh Valley" F units are on the property at Tuckahoe: Dec 1 photo.

I've always thought that the "Lady Liberty" logo was the finest railroad logo ever created.

The CNJ GP7s had the same electrical box on the long hood for commuter service as the B&M GP7s did.
