CSX 2812
Title:  CSX 2812
Description:  Two ex-Conrail units work their former territory (original PRR catenary supports in the background) as they depart Browns Yard eastbound, with this weeks edition of Sayreville-Lakewood local SA-31, heading for the CSAO Southern Secondary in Red Bank, NJ. The Southern has been a money maker for CSAO in the past year (after many marginal years), and this 19 car train is indicative of that. A quick wave from the conductor, and they are on their way to Red Bank, via the New Jersey Transit connection at South Amboy.

Title:  CSX 2798

CSX 2798
Title:  CSX 2798
Description:  On a picture perfect Jersey summer day, two ex-Conrail units lead another healthy CSAO SA-31 down the old CNJ main through Shrewsbury. I know all good things must come to an end, but to see this weekly train with 2 locos & 15+ cars week after week does a railfans heart good. Five years ago, it was 1 loco & 3 to 6 cars regularly...

CSX 2798
Title:  CSX 2798
Description:  A highly unusual scene for Conrail Shared Assets local SA-31; running on a Tuesday this week due to the blizzard last Thursday, CSX 2798 developed mechanical problems enroute to the Southern Secondary. Arriving last night, Conrail mechanical forces worked on the crippled unit, and she is seen cut away from the rest of the train. A new crew would arrive soon, and the train would continue its journey to Lakewood, NJ, although 2798 would continue to malfunction for the duration.
