More Trains on the CSAO Lehigh Line in Union, NJ on August 15th, 2024

Описание: The second time I went to Union, I met with ‪@V_Negroponte‬ for some more CSAO Lehigh Line action, with many of CSX and Norfolk Southern trains. It was pretty busy in mid morning and late afternoon, but in the middle of the day the action was pretty dead. (I see all these other railfans get tons of action on this line, what day of the week should I have gone?)

I would've stayed on the platform for the last freight train on the platform, but I was being picked up to drive all the way back home that night, so I went down to the waiting area right as it showed up.

There were quite a few neat things that went by, here's a breakdown with timestamps.
