BR&W ran a photo freight on Saturday. They run a freight train from Ringoes to Three Bridges and return every Tuesday and Saturday. On Saturday May 26 they added a passenger coach and caboose and ran the freight train as usual until the work at Three Bridges was finished and the southbound return trip was underway. That's when it became a photo freight, with runbys over the South Branch Raritan River (northern boundary of Raritan Township) and a short distance farther south next to Pennsylvania Ave. The track was formerly Central Railroad of NJ.





Thinking steam engine runby, the engineer tried to make smoke at Pennsylvania Ave.

Nice shots. I've always wondered why there's a Raritan (where the RVL is) and Raritan Township (which is near Flemington). Makes little sense.

Raritan Township surrounds Flemington.
