After making a pick up at Monroe's Warner Yard, NS train "49e" (STEL) has headed south in Fall of 1999. This is on Conrail's (NS) Detroit line, track one, at about m.p.35.5. The foliage of the area, and the track closeness to the houses and roads means that trains have to run at restricted speed (25m.p.h.) Through Monroe's city limits
It is Spring 1999. A beautiful Saturday Morning perfect for railfanning! Conrail Train ELST had just left Monroe's Warner yard, and was coming up fast! I had barely enough time to get to the crossing an run to get this worthwhile shot!
After leaving Warner Yard, train STIN-4B is headed south for Stanley Yard on this Cold March 1999 Sunday. The trains run so close to the houses in Monroe, that there is a 25mile speed limit through Monroe City limits.
Sitting in Warner yard on Halloween '99, power for local YDMN-30 sits running near the yard office and former PRR caboose. The Crew will be back come Monday. The unit here, numbered 1444, was/is Conrail engine 1682 seen above right in Trenton, 10 months prior
