I was given a heads up the previous night that Morristown & Erie would be running over to Kearny today to pick up three Maine Eastern locomotives and bring them to Morristown. This was a move that I really wanted to see, so I decided to take the train to Convent Station, figuring that I would be able to kill time between trains walking up and down the Traction Line. I was indeed able to see the move, as well as several Morristown Line trains.
1: Train 6632 arrives with Cab Car 6018 leading the way. Trailing is ALP-46A 4653.
2: A deadhead races through the station on its way to Dover. Multilevel II Cab Car 7054 is on the point, and bringing up the rear is ALP-46A 4649.
3: Cab Car 6049 leads Train 6619 as it enters the station, running 6 minutes late. ALP-46A 4652 and ALP-46 4611 power the set from the rear.
4: ALP-46A 4659, one of the veterans units, pulls Train 6636 into the station. Cab Car 7034 is trailing.
5: Train 6621 passes Kahn Road, running around 8 minutes late. Cab Car 6039 leads the way, and ALP-46 4627 is trailing. Morristown & Erie C-424 18 cruises past shortly after 6621 passes, heading towards Kearny under the symbol MO-1.
6: Train 6640 pulls into the station with ALP-46 4611 and ALP-46A 4652 on the point. Comet V Cab Car 6049 is at the end.
7: Cab Car 6044 leads Train 6625 as it enters the station and makes its stop, running 5 minutes late. It meets Train 854, led by Cab Car 6024. ALP-45DP 4526 is at the end of 854, and ALP-46A 4639 powers 6625's set. Cab Car 5016 is in front of 4639.
8: Train 6644 rounds the bend just after passing under Normandy Parkway. Leading the way is Cab Car 7051, and trailing is ALP-46A 4651.
9: Train 6627 makes its stop 4 minutes behind schedule, led by ALP-46A 4654. Cab Car 6026 is behind 4654, and trailing is Cab Car 6006.
10: Morristown & Erie MO-1 passes through the station with C-424 18 pulling Maine Eastern GP9 100, FL9 489, and FL9 488 towards Morristown.
11: Train 6648 crosses Kahn Road and the private crossing as it nears the station. ALP-46 4627 is on the point, and Cab Car 6039 is at the end.
12: Train 6631 crosses Convent Road and enters the station. Multilevel Cab Car 7000 leads the way, and ALP-46 4609 powers the set from the rear.
