Thanks for your interesting photo posting. ALLEN Date: 05/22/20 08:29 Re: Touring both sides the Delaware river Author: Gonut1 Nice collection!
Thanks JonJonJonJon Date: 05/22/20 08:35 Re: Touring both sides the Delaware river Author: TCnR Wow, quite the tour. Interesting to see the U.S.S. New Jersey and S.S. United States in the same photo, lots of history there.
t4p. Date: 05/22/20 09:16 Re: Touring both sides the Delaware river Author: perklocal Great Post ! Agree with TCnr on the USS New Jersey and SS United States shot. Wow ! Also like your coverage of the PATCO Trains on the Ben Franklin Bridge.
Date: 05/22/20 09:30 Re: Touring both sides the Delaware river Author: Passfanatic Great photos! The greater Philadelphia area offers so many opportunities for railfanning. In all of the years I have lived in NJ, I don't get to railfan Patco very much or even the NJT ACRL. I live much closer to NYC.
Date: 05/22/20 10:23 Re: Touring both sides the Delaware river Author: eastpenn23 That first PATCO shot is nice!
Date: 05/22/20 10:51 Re: Touring both sides the Delaware river Author: pdt 1. Do u have and roster shots of the SNJX ballast hopper cars? Need to model these. They look like AC-2 and PS-2 covered hoppers with roofs removed.
2. The abandoned ROW look like the old PRR Philadelphia and Tacony line. Lots of local freight traffic on it back in the day. When all the factories and chemical plants along the river closed down...it became a big toxic waste dump. Has the area ever really been cleaned up? IDK Date: 05/22/20 16:23 Re: Touring both sides the Delaware river Author: HB90MACH The red boat at the dock, when I was driving the piles for mooring the USS New Jersey, there was a yellow box cab switcher that ran around that dock where the red vessel is moored. I could never get a good shot because it was always hidden just enough.
Date: 05/22/20 18:05 Re: Touring both sides the Delaware river Author: jonjonjonjon Soory - I don't have better shots of the SNJX cars - they were behind a fence and too far away for a good shot.
