Ron Dukarm and listers: Some observations and questions from the latest group of pics posted by Ron Dukarm on the SW locos in NJ: 1.) In the photo of #402 under the bridge, whose switcher and caboose is shown in the background? At first glance, I thought the switcher might of been an EL unit that had not been repainted from Erie or DLW scheme until I saw the caboose! http://www.railfan.net/railpix/submit/subphoto.cgi?rondukarm/dsl_402_under_bridge_ew_c70.jpg 2.) In the photo of #401, what is the piece of equipment to the left? I don't think it's a loco, my guess is it is some sort of MOW equipment, exactly what, however, I don't have a clue. http://www.railfan.net/railpix/submit/subphoto.cgi?rondukarm/dsl_401_w_ew_c70_crox.jpg 3.) Lastly, in this picture of #363, at what I presume is Croxton, you see loaded pig flats on the left and if you scroll to the right, you see empties. In this photo, there are tracks in front of the flats, which makes me ask, how were these loaded at this time?? By piggypacker or crane, which would imply that there are no tracks behind the flats to allow the machines to move about? Or - circus style with the trailers backed on? I would be curious to find out more about pig ops in Croxton at this time. I realize that this may have been covered previously on the list, so if it has been, pls. just refer me to the time frame over which it was discussed. http://www.railfan.net/railpix/submit/subphoto.cgi?rondukarm/dsl_363_croxton_ew_c70.jpg Thanks in advance for any comments.
