PN25
CSX #4451 [GP40-2]

Heading north out of Port Reading Yard and onto the Chemical Coast.

Ironically, after making acquaintences with almost every employee (engineers, conductors, brakemen and track workers that we encountered this day and quite honestly; encountered a great deal of tolerance if not outright support and graciousness; the engineer of PN25 called South Jersey Dispatcher to "report" us "trespassers" and requested the cinder dicks be called. (Not that we were doing anything wrong but just being lowly railfans..)

Well, we heard the transmission on the scanner and decided it would be in our best interest to call it a day. Besides, the sun was setting and it was getting dark ;o)

But, inspite of this one cranky dude, I wish Godspeed and best of health and smooth sailing to all the other Conrail Shared Assets employees!
