Eastern Railroad Discussion > A fun afternoon with the Central of New Jersey

Today's add on power for 64R turned out to be the NS 1071, the clean CNJ Heritage unit. With afternoon temps hitting 80 around here everyone who could get away was out. I got clouded out on my first location in Bedford, but managed to dodge the afternoon clouds for the remainder of the day. The consist was colorful, the 1071 and three BNSF units all in different paint variations. The short time crew would outlaw right at MP 104 on the Cleveland Line in Macedonia, Ohio allowing for some nice meet photos. Thanks to all who provided info on this train while I was out making NS some money :)

Pulling down to add a rear buffer at Motor, passing Royal Chemical, a customer I've switched many times.

Rounding the curve at MP 104.

Where she stopped, a perfect location.

Beautiful. The NS heritage units probably call you by your first name since you photograph them so much! You are their number one fan.

Those symbols don't exactly convey my many choice words directed at that cloud :)
Notice the train in sun, the units in shadow. Did the best I could post processing this one lol

Roster grab of this clean unit. Even non railfans were stopping and snapping cellphone photos of this unit where the train sat for a while since it was in plain view of a busy road.

ATSF100WEST......Out

GREAT photographs there Roger; excellent work. I caught both the Interstate and the Jersey Central Lines within ten minutes of each other at Alliance. Did what I could with the light that was available. Cindy and I hope to see you soon.

Yes it was a great time! Saw a few guys I haven't seen in years!

A heck of an afternoon I'd say. Great work Roger.
