A Short Chase Of Black River's Saturday Freight, Railfanning, Ringoes - Flemington, NJ 8/20/22

As of the past few weeks the Black River & Western has been using former NYC GP10 BDRV #1856 in revenue freight service. The 1856 is one of my favorites because of its unique look, so I figured I might as well make an attempt to see it in action. After a couple failed attempts, I would finally get BRW TB-1 starting in Ringoes this day, taking one empty center beam back to Three Bridges for interchange with NS. Here we see the TB-1 as they make their way North with the 1856 long hood foward departing Ringoes Station, crossing the Third Neshanic River at Copper Hill, passing the old Flemington Station, and lastly crossing the South Branch Raritan River in Flemington. Enjoy!

Yeah it's a neat engine. I'd like to get down to the WW someday, definitely on the list.

It would be nice to see those derelict passenger cars back in service

Yes it would, although some are indeed in service and not just rotting away!
