After dealing with Wednesday's Nor'easter then shoveling out here in central NJ, heading trackside on Friday was just what I needed. To take advantage of a sunny day I decided to head up to NJT's Whitehouse Station on the Raritan Valley Line on Friday afternoon. NJT's website stated RVL service was operating on a normal schedule which would enable me to photograph westbound train 5175 pulling into the station. 2:12 PM's scheduled arrival time came and no 5175 was to be seen or heard approaching the station. An announcement over the PA system stated 5175 was "...running twelve minutes late." Finally about 2:31 NJT's 5175 made it to Whitehouse station. Seen in the background is the former CNJ station which has been converted to house a library. Inside are some nice railroading photos of the way this location used to be.
