SEPTA is replacing the wire on Track 2 (the normal freight track) from CP Wood and CP Trent, which means they are single tracking. With SEPTA locals scheduled to depart southbound around :10 after the hour and northbounds arriving about :40, the window to run a northbound freight is from :25 to :40 after the hour, a southbound :40 to the top of the hour. This usually means trains held at Woodbourne or Trent, and back to back freights. |

| SEPTA 60, a Republic Locomotive RL1, was power on the wire train today. SEPTA had been leasing an RS18 from the West Chester Railroad (here and here), but it was returned last month. SEPTA's SW1200's also see duty on this train. | ||||||||||

| Just behind the northbound MU was light power move X037, headed to Conrail Shared Assets at Oak Island in North Jersey. The train was a real mixed bag with a FURX, a mother/road slug pair, and at least three different CSX paint schemes (four if you count the ex-Conrail engine). | ||||||||||
