Spotted an old relic trackside...

(Train sightings on 4-26-09.)

No, I am not talking about myself when I say "...an old relic". That relic was a fallen flag from the past, a CNJ covered hopper! I finally made the effort to photograph it after seeing it on this siding during my drives through Raritan. The car is definitely showing its age and one can see it has been around a long time. In looking at this car, it made me think that not many modern freight cars sport any type of logo such as Miss Liberty.



On a more current note, the other other scene shows NS 22E making its way east with COFCs. NS 2777 and NS 9176 has just passed through the Lansdown Road grade crossing on this sunny Sunday morning.
