Notes:

This section of the train ran in the afternoon after the eastbound passenger train cleared Campbell Hall. They are stored in The VERY small NS yard in Port Jervis because that is where there is water hook-up available.
At this time, the flat cars were being unloaded in Middletown, for the trek across Interstate 84 to Danbury, CT. The train would have normally been on The Housatonic Railroad in Connecticut.
