most of the NS trains run during the night. However, a while back i read something about NS running "fast freights" during the day... don't no when this was supposed to begin though

Mike, Thanks. Will do.

That stinks. The photo in Trains was during the day. I was hoping for a afternoon window. They have 3 tracks, come on make some room.

Tom,

You might want to try getting hold of Stan Feldman (the host of that link, which I gave above) -- I'll bet the NS trains only run at night -- but Stan probably knows and/or has photos somewhere.

Edit:
Note however, that Stan's "What's New" page includes an announcement (from early Dec. '03) to the effect that he may still be "out of action".

Excellent collection of pics -- Thanks Mikey.

More than excellent, if you go back thru the home page to sites like --

http://www.trainweb.org/railpix/ -- which includes several shots of my favourite bridge -- the Delair Bridge.

I was hoping to find some pics on the new "River Line" -- I worked on that construction project, for the last 3 plus years -- here's a link to one collection;

i got the site of someone on msn, and i thought you might be interested in the SEPTA section. there's a lot of modern stuff and stuff from years past as well

For the NJ members, there is some stuff, but not much, on NJ Transit and the Patco line.
