New York Division-Bergen Line

[minerman146]

Not having any lucky starting a QD out of Croxton, which is a bummer because I prefer to run tests going upgrade. But Ill keep trying them out to see what works.

NS Trains - that Croxton to Suffern QD was broken last night and fixed this afternoon and updated. I ran it myself about 4 hours ago. Its clean I promise!

This route gets better and better every update...I think WJ to WC looks perfect.

Also....have some P40BH.

NJTransit owns P40BH's? Huh.
Very nice loco on a very nice route. Well done!

Yes Four of them (4800-4803). They were purchased from Amtrak to be used on the Atlantic City Express Service, but when that failed the P40s were found mostly on the Newark Divison. https://flic.kr/p/AqouWd

Work on the Croxton Ordinary is frozen for the moment- until I get a call for fixes.

I will post this on the Croxton Ordinary WIP thread here on RWA. This is where are the action is going to be for the next week.
After that - work will resume as normal on the Bergen.

This is some screen shot from my most recent run on the bergen

Well I believe there is more of a need for the Main Line to be built since it goes on and off the Bergen with stations like Passaic, Patterson and Lyndhurst. Who's in for it?

33 months - 48 miles.
Choices - there are always choices. In the coming weeks and months, I will be punching west. The Division is not complete without the Main.
Its a big project.

Are you volunteering?

[PennCentral670]

If so, yes! That would be plentiful of work to do with the Beacon Line in addition.

Making the disclaimer that I have no idea about past traffic movement. I humbly present some fun pictures.

Buzz! That will very much work. For the rivet counters: a nice 4 mile run from Hoboken due West past the West end Tower. 1 way each direction. We can turn Miss Phoebe as NJT removed the Lackawanna Turntable 30 years ago. For the rest of us .. SEND THE LINK we can go to Scranton the OTHER way! (via Binghamton, NY.)

I don't want to derail this thread but I think it will get the most reads here. I can't seem to find a good list of names for the coaches or if they even did that. Please advise and I'll get these out for a quick beta.
