Southern Secondary-Page 7

Numberboards such as this are becoming quite common
along all the Shared Asset Lines.
A warm June night sees PRR 2944 quietly sitting in Lakehurst.  The GP38s are becoming scarce on the line as more GP40-2s are seen.
And speaking of the GP40-2s, here is CSX 4441.  The Conrail paint is very bright and very fresh. 
The following morning I got up early and made my way to Red Bank to catch the SA35 coming onto the NJCL.  This is a normal Saturday occurrence between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m.
A hazy, June 22, 2001 morning sees a train approaching Farmingdale.
After cutting off cars for Gold Lumber, the train crosses Route 547/524.  This grade crossing is one a few grade crossings on the line that has gates.
The train leaves the Southern Secondary to drill Gold Lumber.
Later that night, the train is laying over in Lakehurst.
As the sun sets on a warm July night, the SA35 is parked on the Toms River Industrial Track as opposed to its usual place under the Route 70 overpass.
