CR 8845 switching in North Brunswick, NJ. 8/14/82

SW1200 #8845. Switching Goodyear plant in North Brunswick, NJ. The secondary track is from County yards and used to switch the J&J plant in North Brunswick, NJ until they closed the plant. This photo was taken on August 14, 1982 as it was crossing Jersey Avenue, around 9PM.  This industrial track was worked at night Monday through Friday at one time.  Almost all the warehouses have closed or do not use rail service anymore.

I started taking railroad photos around 1970 with better camera equipment. In the 1960's, all I had was a Kodak Brownie camera.  Those photos were not of good quality. Growing up in New Brunswick, NJ my main photographic subject was the Pennsylvania Railroad.  Once I obtained better camera equipment, the PRR became Penn Central and then Conrail came about. 

My background is in the electronics and Telecom fields.  I also spent time as a journeyman electrician.
