Brakemen must be ever vigilant at the road crossings by the piers. The local drivers are never happy to be stuck at the road crossings...especially when they see the B&O's new piggyback trains being made up for their trip to Chicago, this could mean a subtantial wait for them. Close calls are the norm it seems, so the brakeman better be on their toes. I just installed NJ international crossing gates, and thought I would feature them in a few my shots, as well as some good old B&O steam. Have a great weekend everyone.

Great pictures! I'm a diesel man but love those steamers. Neat looking loading dock in the fourth photo and it was fun to see those guys working!
