Saturday's rail grinding on the LEHL...

(Train sightings on 4-9-11.) 

Would see the LORAM rail grinding train holding at Flemington Jct. (MP 51) to wait for three eastbound NS trains to pass on the morning of April 9 . Once those three trains passed, it would then head down to the Royce Running track (MP 39.6) in Hillsborough (NJ) to once again take this siding and wait on NS 213’s passage. After 213 passed, it would come back out on to the main and head east to Port Reading Jct. The reason the rail grinding came back out on to the main and not head down the Royce Runner was NS 64J was occupying the east end of this siding. At Port Reading Jct. the train would then start its rail grinding operation west to Easton (PA). The train is seen here at Three Bridges (NJ) just west of the BR&W interchange (MP 48.4).
