Post subject:  Newark Scrapping Final Tally

Hi,

Picking up on the earlier thread, everything not on live track near the Amtrak MoW base adjacent to the Hunter connection in Newark, NJ has been scrapped.

Final tally:

3 PRR round roof boxcars
2 Baggage cars
1 Navy boxcar (the only one of the bunch on trucks)
2 40' boxcars (one believed to be ex NYC)

While none of these were of the highest historical value, the destruction of 8 50 year old railcars at one clip is noteworthy.

Rob
