The Black Engine Special For Black Friday. Conrail Shared Assets OI16 made an unexpected appearance at River Draw in daylight near Perth Amboy, New Jersey on the early afternoon of Friday, November 27, 2020. Norfolk Southern Corp 1705 SD45-2) leads an equally unexpected total of four all EMD standard cab engines (NS 5285 GP38-2, NS 3429 SD40-2, NS 1700 SD45-2). Due to the holiday schedule, a large number of cars needed to be moved and thus OI16's normal tasks were split, this crew being tasked with taking cars directly to Browns Yard in Sayreville, New Jersey and returning their outgoing traffic. The bridge itself is presently in the process of being replaced with a more modern span, thus the gaggle of cranes in the background.
