NJ Transit "Rude Zone" Adam Reich Larry Higgs NJ TRANSIT NJ TRANSIT_MBPJ why is there a freight train on a commuter train line?
Neecy NJ Transit "Rude Zone" Larry Higgs NJ TRANSIT NJ TRANSIT_MBPJ It’s more common than you may realize. The railroads were built to serve both freight and passengers. Many local commuter lines still have local freight customers served by carriers like Conrail Shared Assets Operations and the Morristown & Erie Railway.
Adam Reich NJ Transit "Rude Zone" Larry Higgs NJ TRANSIT NJ TRANSIT_MBPJ I have never seen a freight train on the Bergen line in my many years of taking this train. Not ever.
Neecy NJ Transit "Rude Zone" Larry Higgs NJ TRANSIT NJ TRANSIT_MBPJ I think they generally try to run them off-peak. Case in point, a little after 10:00 AM in Ridgewood on 6/18/21:

Neecy NJ Transit "Rude Zone" Larry Higgs NJ TRANSIT NJ TRANSIT_MBPJ 8 PM would also be off-peak. I follow a few railfanning groups and some of those freight moves do happen at night.
