BDRV 1259
Title:  BDRV 1259
Description:  The BR&W freight crew waits at the NS interchange for the local to bring in a car bound for Ringoes. At first glance locomotive 1259 might seem like a new acquisition but the unit has been with the railroad since 1999, operating for the last many years in CP red and white as BDRV 8159. Built by GMD in 1960 as Canadian Pacific 8159, the unit was repainted last fall to match the other units in the Black River System's fleet.

BDRV 8142
Title:  BDRV 8142
Description:  BDRV 8142 is seen at NS/BR&W interchange next to the CNJ era crossing sign. The interchange was put in at this point in the 1970s, near the end of the CNJ, so as to avoid having to cross an old, dangerous bridge near Neshanic on the CNJ South Branch. CNJ assigned a locomotive to this segment of the line to work industry in the Flemington area before the BR&W took over operations in 1976. The last CNJ unit to work this line, RS-3 1554, went to the Black River along with the line. Today the South Branch east of here has been abandoned.
