A Dedicated Fan Base - There are several local trains that run out of Browns Yard, but none have a bigger or more enthusiastic fan base than the once weekly train down the ex-CNJ Southern Division mainline. Here is a Southern Secondary railfan making the extra effort to get the right angle. Since Conrail took over the Browns Yard operations back in 1980, many customers have been lost. The Southern Secondary, however, has recently picked up a new customer (which the gondola is for), bringing added joy and excitement to the fans.
