I'm curious how many derailments occurred on the High Bridge Branch during
the CNJ/EL runs?

Please respond to

I also have some nice shots taken at HO Jct. not long before Conrail. I
couldn't believe the condition fo the track those two big freights used
daily.
Watching one go westbound was scary, to say the least. Once they got
permission by
the signal at the diamond and got the one at the top of the New Connection
at
West Chester Jct. they'd open it up and make a run for it. The diamond over
the Chester Branch would pump up and down about six inches or more as each
car
hit it and the train rocked unbelievably. How they stayed on the rail was
anybody's guess.
