Tonights mix includes more switcher images, but I will throw in a freight. Here's SDP-45 3655 leading a SD45-2 at Great Notch station with an early morning NY-100. Then we see EL 452 east near Clove Road, again this area has become the NEW NJ Transit "Great Notch Yard". a broadside view of EL 427 west at Great Notch yard after a recent snowfall, I included a photo of the 2 EL Ballast Hoppers spotted on the right.
The photo's of EL 432 stopped at the station show another meet, the Silver Lake Drill was waiting to meet an eastbound weed sprayer. I don't even want to think what the railroad used to kill vegatation in the 1970's, but it sure worked! Soon EL GP-7 1400 showed up with the work train. Even as a kid I knew enough to photograph this train from the parking lot of the gas station and Long Hill Road bridge, the crew of the drill may have warned us. The Long Hill Road bridge was life threating and dangerous in its own right, my photo of the weed sprayer with the GP-7 turned out blurry because I was ((Shaking)) so much when cars were crossing it, that thing had about 90% of its wood planks loose and rattled so bad you could hear it a 1/2 mile or more in ever direction!
The last two photos show a westbound 452 at the yard lead, the Silver Lake Drill also hauled these single dome tank cars you see behind the locomotive up the spur, not sure where they were spotted though? Last one show's the 460 with a good size train heading east at the Long Hill Road bridge I spoke about.
