Remarks & Notes |
An NJ Transit stone train carefully threads its way through Bridgewater's Chimney Rock shopping district while bringing nine loads out of the Stavola Quarry. This is the second NJ Transit stone train to service the quarry recently, which is on the west end of the Middlebrook Industrial track. This end of the line was reconfigured after being grade-separated from US 22 several years prior and it has seen little use until recently. This line was built as the Middlebrook Branch of the Central Railroad of New Jersey. The branch once had a diverse mix of customers, but today only the quarry is actively served. A trainman can be seen flagging the crossing and the red glow from his flare illuminates the side of 4112. So far most activity on this line has been in the late evening hours.
