With 50° plus temperatures I couldn’t resist going out and soaking in this beautiful afternoon at a famous New Jersey hotspot, Union, NJ station. We see lots of New Jersey Transit trains, including three different military units. We also see several CSX and NS hotshots. Although I didn’t see as many freight trains as in a past visit, but it was still a most enjoyable day, and Union is a very relaxing place to railfan. All trains are identified. Narration with graphics.

I used to see those Tropicana cars run through Washington, DC when I used to live and work in the Area. Now when I see freights in the SLC area, they're either UP or short line trains. And there certainly aren't any Tropicana cars.

nice action! I fanned the Lehigh Line on Sunday afternoon, another beautiful day. when there isn’t a heritage unit, 23G is always the highlight of the afternoon (scheduled out of Croxton 3:45). always so many engines and the leader (on Sunday) had an awesome P5!

I love the gauntlet tracks at these stations. I see the Tropicana juice train pretty often as it uses the old Reading (current CSX) New York Short line which my house backs up to. I still remember in the late 80's and early 90's when they were Orange boxcars and then the white Tropicana boxcars were introduced

Nice! 288 also actually originates out of Rossville, TN not Rossport.

The windows are not dirty. There is a major problem with the polycarbonate windows installed on these cars. What appears to be dirt are tiny cracks in the window coating. One option NJT is looking at is replacing all the windows but that can cost upwards of 8 million bucks. Another option - NJT is working with Rutgers engineering department to see if there is some way of restoring the existing windows.

It’s not fun riding on these trains and not having the vaguest idea where you are. The Long Island Rail Road has the same problem with their M7’s on the sunny side of the train.

I tried to explain this to Tim. Part of the problem is the cleaning solution that's being used. It's scratching the polycarbonate windows.

Well, hopefully they can resolve the problem, so passengers know where they are instead of riding in the twilight zone
