The Vineland Secondary
WW J101 backs onto the Vineland Secondary before starting down towards Millville.
The Vineland Secondary was originally part of the PRSL mainline to Cape May. Before the PRSL, it was part of the West Jersey and Seashore Railroad, a subsidiary of the PRR. The Cape May line was electrified between Camden and Millville until 1949 when PRSL ended electric operations.
Lead engine OMLX #9006 was formerly WW #403 and was built for the Texas and New Orleans (SP's Texas subsidiary) in 1954, one of 59 EMD GP9s built for the T&NO. It was sold to Precision National in 1970 and was the first of seven Precision GP9s rebuilt by the Illinois Central at Paducah. For a brief time, it had IC-style "frog eyes" and SP-style gyralights. Unfortunately, that ended by the time W&W picked up this engine.
