Conrail SA-31 Derailment |
Description: |
Fortunately, things move slowly on the Southern Secondary; an alert crew got the train stopped in time with only gouges in a few dozen ties. This is the yard lead to Woodhaven Lumber in Lakewood, the Southern's largest customer; I'm sure the Track dept. will be out quickly to keep everything moving smoothly. |

Conrail SA-31 Derailment |
Description: |
A loaded BNSF centerbeam flat has one axle on the ground on the switch lead; this would be the least troublesome of the 4 car derailment last night. It is rare that a car gets in the dirt on the Southern, but stuff happens.... |

Conrail SA-31 Derailment |
Description: |
Railroaders are a tough lot; to see a loaded centerbeam leaning like this would make most folks quite nervous. Conrail crews are the best, and they will have this fixed within the hour..... |

Conrail SA-31 Derailment |
Description: |
I just know of him as 'Pete', but this Conrail engineer is cool, calm & collected on the business end of CSAO local SA-31, as he listens to the directives; "stretch 'em out, maybe just a foot", "good, on the stop", over & over again during this derailment fix. |

5 days after the derailment, it looks like nothing happened at all. A new tie beneath the switch points for now, more tie work to be done very shortly. |

Clean up train SA-31 |
Description: |
The Conrail Shared Assets 'clean up train'; instead of travelling down the Southern today, SA-31 sits in Shrewsbury after pulling most of the empties from Lakewood after the recent derailment. Todays normal run down the Southern will likely take place later tonight as symbol SA-38 out of Browns Yard in Sayreville, NJ. |
