Charging through Flemington

With building cumulus clouds all around her, the Black River & Western's Locomotive #60 makes a spirited charge through downtown Flemington, NJ, with a short freight, during an April, 2023 photo shoot organized by the railroad and hosted by Photographer Dan Drennen. In this image, the former Great Western #60 is depicted crossing Central Avenue in Flemington with a short freight. This location is perhaps 900 ft. west of the old Central Railroad of New Jersey (CNJ) Station, which historically, was the terminus of the CNJ South Branch. Just off to the left side of the image, behind that grove of bushes, are the remains of a turntable pit, where the CNJ once turned their famous Camelback commuter locomotives. Today, this spot is a commercial development known as "Turntable Junction."
