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. |

The train returns to Milford for only the second time in the past 25 years; extensive trackwork on this section of the long neglected section of the old Pennsy line along the Delaware River should see trains returning to Milford more frequently over the next few years. |

This loco has spent her entire life in this area; purchased for the power plant 6 miles north of here, and recently restored to full operation, 'Millie' leads one of the many caboose hops on this day. This section of the old Pennsy Bel-Del route continues to be rebuilt, and the future looks very promising... |

The Belvidere & Delaware River Railway is back in Milford for the 'Milford Alive' day-long festivities. Caboose hops were provided on the half-hour for over 300 patrons over the weekend. The old Pennsy lives! |

Oh Deer! With the demolition of an old building and 3 to 4 acres of wooded area just a few hundred feet west of this photo, these deer have recently been made homeless, and wander about the tracks and surrounding neighborhood. I am happy to report that neither the crew on Conrail local SA-31 or the young bucks on the ground were harmed on this day. Everyone went home safe with quite a story to tell their families tonight.... |

Shrewsbury, NJ, is a quiet little town, although you could argue that no town in central NJ is 'quiet' anymore. Today's crew on Conrail Shared Assets local SA-31 has a couple of things to deal with at the Patterson Ave. grade crossing. Because this is a once-weekly train, some vehicles, and some wildlife, are not used to seeing a train in this location, although the grade crossing protection is functioning normally this day. The pickup driver seems unfazed by the approaching train (albeit at 10 mph), but the two deer in front of the train are running for their lives, and are about to make a sharp right turn directly in front of the lead unit & head for home. |

No joke, this day was sunny until 10 minutes before the train arrived. Conrail Shared Assets local SA-31 heads slowly through central Jersey on a warm, humid day in the Garden State, headed to the large lumber yard in Lakewood, some 16 miles away. |

| Description: |
Standing on hallowed ground, in a railroad sense; this location, known as Eatontown Jct. more than 100 years ago, was where the Raritan & Delaware Bay RR (later to be part of the CNJ) first laid rails in 1860. The photographer is standing on top of the remnants of old ties which once held the rails of the passing siding which facilitated the connection to Long Branch, NJ, due east of here on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. Today, the original R&DB RR is still operating as the Conrail Shared Assets Operations Southern Secondary, some 157 years later, and hosts a once-weekly train, symbol SA-31, seen here heading south (timetable west) towards Lakewood, NJ. |

Things are still looking good on the CSAO Southern Secondary, with 17 cars for 2 customers this week. The train is passing the site of the old Red Bank Airport (to the west, or left of this photo), closed in the mid-70s when the CNJ still ran through here. |
