...with the only real noise being caused by the neighborhood kids setting off fireworks. Went trackside on Friday and Saturday but there wasn't much to see. On Friday, NS 64J was coming east through Flemington Junction with its consist of empty muncipal waste containers for refills.
On Saturday, after reading about the freight cars being stored on former CNJ tracks in Asbury, I decided to take a trip and check it out for myself. It is quite an unusual sight and quite indicative of the economic hard times being experienced not only by this country but around the world. There were cars of every type-gondolas, coil cars, spine cars, etc.that could be seen from the Vliet Farm Road grade crossing in Asbury. Hopefully, the economy will soon start to get better and these cars will once again be back in revenue service.
