CSX 4429
Title:  CSX 4429
Description:  One month ago, the Southern Secondary was disconnected from the outside world after Hurricane Sandy severely damaged the NJ Transit North Jersey Coast Line. Incredibly, MOW forces opened the line for limited service just 10 days later, and the connection was reestablished. In this scene at sunset, Conrail SA-31 works southbound towards Lakewood, and the Southern survives Mother Nature once again.

NS 5282
Title:  NS 5282
Description:  This time of year, it's difficult to find good light for this train on the Secondary, but the crew ran a few minutes early this trip, so I chose the best location before sunset. Conrail Shared Assets local SA-31 heads past a lightly frozen pond this day with 12 loads & 1 empty, yet another healthy train for this once 'unhealthy' line.
