How will storm affect NS ops in NJ??
Author: dschlegel

Normally I get an email for service alerts from NS whenever a weather event is imminent, however I haven't seen anything yet for the big storm expected in NJ and NY tonight into tomorrow.

Will trains headed to the NJ area be held outside of the projected storm path until conditions improve or will they continue to their terminals?

I'm mostly curious about the 20W with the 8099, but also wondering about the rest of the EB intermodal and autoracks.

Thanks!

Most likely held back if the storm is as bad as they're saying, too tough to
dogcatch crews otherwise. BUT, when has the storm ever been as bad as the weather
guys forecast?

Out

They've definitely been off this year, the forecasted 2-4" on Saturday turned out to be 9" in reality for me in Topton, PA.

Business as usual on Monday for the H76 at Three Bridges (NJ) at 11:30. Motive power was NS 9855 and NS 9093 leading a nine-car consist.

NJT is shutting down last departure is 8pm. Right now in North Jersey its coming down hard we got an inch in the last 45min. Governor called state of emergency requested everyone be off the roads by 1pm. LOL I am home for lunch going back to work sorry Chris. I know its not an NS report but its sort of relevant.

Definitely relevant, as far as train Ops go.
Thanks!
