Great weather and a probable last chance to see a DL&W paint scheme in my
back yard got me out this again morning.

 

The lite engine came east to Boonton shortly after the last commuter run.
The first three attached photos are coming and going shots taken from the
Fanny Road Bridge. Knowing that it would take a little time to get out on
the main, I moved ahead to Mountain Lakes as seen in shot 0065; it is really
pretty treed in here. Then on to Denville; it was traveling pretty slowly
and I beat the train again. It stopped close to the tower with the 1074
right at the handicapped platform; the next three shots (0071, 0072, and
0075) were taken from that vantage.  I knew those platforms would have a
good use some day.

 

From there, my judgment and luck failed me. I thought they might do some
work in Dover but apparently not. Losing time in Dover, I missed again at
Chester Jct. A few smarter folk must have nice shots of the caboose handoff
to the M&E and the pickup of a ten car string of freight.

 

Finally, I pressed on to Hopatcong. The train was held there for a bit
probably waiting for the mid-day NJT Hackettstown Train. But the meet did
not occur there as I saw the train proceed (0081 and 0085), but not the
passenger job.

 

Kudos to all involved. It was a great event all around.
