All gussied up for work...

(Train sightings on 7-23-11.)

...was hoping to photograph CP 38Z as it passed through Three Bridges (NJ) on NS's LEHL on Saturday morning. Alas, stopping for a cup of coffee caused me to see this train pass by just as I was approaching the Main Street grade crossing. I guess it was the heat that NJ has been experiencing to cause me not to be thinking about getting there first. After all why would anyone want a cup of coffee on a morning when the thermometer is already pushing the high 90s? However my trip wasn't a total loss as I managed to see BR&W's 8142 (ex-CP 8142; SW1200RS) working what was once a CNJ branch line wearing red, white and blue bunting on its rails. Guess my trip here wasn't a futile one after all. Stay cool...
