BRW 8159 pops out of the weeds for a second as it passes a vegetable stand just before the Pennsylvania Ave. bridge.

BRW 752 passes the Flemington station, which is still used in excursion service, with the flag of the Liberty Village Outlets seen in the background.

At the end of its run, BRW 752 eases past the Ringoes station and slows to a stop.
Black River & Western 752 backs towards a cut of cars by the NS interchange. The old shack was a great prop to use with the 1956 built GP9.
