| Cape May Seashore Line Tuckahoe NJ July 29 2018 |
| I have been stopping at Tuckahoe on the way down to the shore for years, and while I have seen various passenger moves, I had not seen freight in action ... until last weekend. I arrived just in time to see the two GATX leased units pull this covered hopper out of the siding at Tuckahoe Tower ... |
 |
| and shove it south past the station on main toward Cape May. For a quick history of the engines, click here. |
 |
 |
| As luck would have it, they were coupling up to a string of LPG tank cars just around the curve and pulling them north. |
 |
 |
 |
| They then shoved them onto the Beesley Point Secondary. |
 |
| Shortly after, the true purpose became clear: to free the GP's ... |
 |
| and have them run down the now vacated main. Too bad I couldn't stay longer, but it was nice to finally see some freight moves. |
