Nice Drone video with CSX at Ridgefield Park Nj

I like how everything is done by Drone with CSX River Subdivision and NYS&W Railroad by Southern tier line

Nicely done! +1

Music?

Crossing over the old Erie's Greenwood Lake branch.

The GL line and Boonton line were 2 separate lines on 2 separate railroads, the Erie and Lackawanna respectively. After the merger between the 2 roads in 1960, both lines were combined. The GL ran to Mountain View in Wayne where it then turned onto the Boonton Line from Mt. View west. The lines originally crossed at grade just north of the Erie's Mt. View Station

How many days a week does it pass through that area?

Love watching the Jersey trains, Great camera work!

I wonder if they'll put a new Marcal sign on the building.

Great catch, and smooth drone work!

Wow, very nice perspective. I grew up near there and never thought I would ever see it like this. Thanks!

It would be interesting to see the former Roseville station in Newark

Good drone footage. I live half a block from the Rutherford Station and often see this train passing through.

Beautiful , I love the paint scheme on the locomotive s

Terrific ❤

B605 runs through the river line, right?

A short piece of this right of way (between where it crosses Amtrak's NEC and where it crosses NJT's Bergen line) is slated to become the main section of the Secaucus/Bergen Loop, assuming it gets built, that will allow trains from the Bergen route to run straight through the Hudson tunnels into Penn Station. How the loop will run can best be visualized by pausing the video at about 0:51 to imagine curves to the south off the NEC and the west off the Bergen line that would be linked by running along this old alignment. A huge improvement long overdue!

Nice catch 🚂✨🦅🔝

Hey, you're back! Thank goodness, I was getting worried about you man! Anyway, glad to see you again and LOOK what you brought with you, the CSX RF&P Heritage unit! Lucky guy, I live in Virginia now in the old RF&P area and I haven't seen it yet! I won't bore anyone with a history lesson but I will share this with everyone, the old RF&P was cinsidered a good place to work and jobs were so prized you had to know someone connected there to get hired yourself, hence the reason everyone said RF&P really stood for "Relatives, Friends and Parents!" Thanks for posting!

Subscribed! What is in those AEX gons? It sure does look a lot like dirt...

Great audio, too.

So where does this three track line converge to a one track line to the North?

This is what happens when our govt wastes resources and treasure on propping up a overseas empire. Natural result is domestic economic, demographic and infrastructure decline like this. Plenty of scenes like this in the rust belt only now catching up to the NYC area. I remember seeing trains on that line in the 90s and early 00s while on the eastern spur NJ turnpike bridge depicted in the beginning. Now that much of the infrastructure has gone to waste, we no longer have the means to rebuild it, much less barely maintain what we still have.

Awesome video. I’m also a new subscriber

This was great! Especially the drone shots!

It would be so cool to have seen these things like the bridges working in their heyday

NYS&W in the foreground in the opening shot - with their own Overpeck bridge.

So it is a three track line. Where does it turn into a one track line which I think it is in Bergenfield?

great footage 👍

My mother used to sit on our front porch and, when the crossing gate started coming down, she would walk across the park (in Passaic Park, by the stadium) and catch the train to Hoboken and then visit friends in Jersey City.

Great video!! Much too short

Man, you are an absolute master of the old phrase "Always leave 'em wanting more!" 🤣 Wow, it's five years already since that fire. Where does the time go? Honestly I never thought it would be rebuilt, I could see the parent company selling off the property and rebuilding out of state but thank goodness they didn't! A lot of good people got to keep their jobs. Just a stunning video, thanks for posting! 👍

That MARCAL fire was insane.

What type of drone do you use?

I truly admire & appreciate your talents in what you capture with the camera lens. Thank you for sharing!

Some great catches and some great drone flying! It's always enjoyable when you post! Say, hows the Northern Branch project coming? I'm looking forward to seeing that one "When and if." Thanks for posting!

GREAT SHOT!! of Sparta loop, very rare. Thanks!

Stunning video. I’m a lifelong northern NJ resident and rail fan. Love your work.

Good stuff. New sub!

😲

i could watch a video like this all day

Always enjoyable to watch your wonderfully "panoramic" offerings! Thank you for sharing.

I’m so mad, I was there last Wednesday on the 24th of April from 2 PM to 5 PM and nothing. I went back home empty handed. I gotta go back cause this is one of the freights I’ve been wanting to catch for the longest. Fantastic footage by the way!

The Passaic River trestle is such a great shot, and them going up along Royal Ave north of Diamond Bridge very excellent drone footage. Will wait for the next one Ted

I live north of Binghamton and see the Susie Q in action a bit but never realized how far south they traveled. Thanks for the post.

Nice catch

I love these videos. Thank you for posting them. Long live the Suzie Q.

Wow, thanks again for your work, I always enjoy seeing North Jersey from a vantage I've never had in the past. ALWAYS look forward to each new installment! Great work!

Pompton Junction is one of my new favorite spots. There is also the old Tilcon access road crossing 2000 feet from there too.

How’d you manage to stay with it from the trestle all the way up to the siding? Thats crazy range.
