The afternoon freight train to Freehold (SA31) was running especially late and I just happened to stumble across the reason why. Track maintenance was being performed on the Amboy Secondary just east of Jamesburg. The man on the left is a rail grinder operator and has just finished grinding a welded track joint.
Photo albums dedicated to the Men, and Women that keep the Railroad running around the clock 365 days a year. From Dispatcher to Track Gangs, these are the people that make the railroad moves!
A tribute of appreciation to the workers who maintain the track, keeping our railways in shape regardless of weather and danger, and keeping them running effeciently.
