CR Tie Handler TH 2173 Hanover, NJ 2001

TH 2173 is seen at Hanover NJ on the Morristown & Erie Railway in 2001. This was an Evans / RTW 2181A Tie Handler. Following the breakup of Conrail, both CSX and Norfolk Southern found themselves with a large surplus of MW machinery. As a result, many older CR machines were sold to short line and regional railroads. This machine would eventually end up working on a Pennsylvania short line years later.
