Bernardsville Evening

December 30th, 2010
Watching an evening rush along NJ Transit's Gladstone Branch at Bernardsville, here are the following westbound trains:
Train 429 with Arrow MU's on a Hoboken-Gladstone run
Train 6431, one of two direct NY City-Gladstone trips with a tossed Comet Salad push-pull train.
Train 433, a rush-hour Arrow consist from Hoboken to Gladstone
Train 437 with a diesel-hauled tossed Comet salad push-pull consist to Gladstone.

No eastbound trains were seen, due to us being in the 3 1/2 hour window of no service to allow the westbound rush hour parade to operate.

First time I've ever seen a diesel to Gladstone, why was it running there?

@LIRR175

That caught me by surprise too. I almost didn't get that train, but the previous one being late only left a 10-minute gap, so I figured I would wait, and look what showed. I was prepared for Arrows.

Wow! I'll let you know next time I am up that way; I do want to get some video in at Convent Station and perhaps Far Hills too...

@trainman1971 btw, I've only seen a diesel on the Gladstone once and it was an F40PH. Unfortunatly I was too far away to get a video of it.

@SUBWAY125

I guess the next time they do any major catenary work would be the next opportunity...
