END OF FALL RAILFANNING 2024 FT C&D TOYS FOR TOTS CSX NS

This channel and video is PG rated since 8-4-25. As the 2024 holiday season is under. So do The Operation Toy Train part of Toys for Tots a Non Profile 501c3 Organization by the US Marine Core in 1991. The mission is to help disadvantaged children through the gift of a new toy, helping to bring joy of Christmas. What I did in simple was gather 40toys before and after Thanksgiving out of my time to buy alot of toys for the children that are needed. After appoval from work on Saturday the last day of November 2024. I haul my pickup to Phillipsburg at the PU Tower as they were hostting a toys for tot drive. After I unloaded my toys from my pickup. They grant me to park with their other cars on the hill. As I was coming out from there. A NS 6E4 with NS and CSX duo to start off.Normally the G30 Canon Cam with mic recorded it. However the audio got Fuzz again. So Cell Phone did the trick. Now here comes Santa Claus on the C&D 2006 TFT Blue Boxcar and a former Conrail Caboose on the rear. After all of this with PU Tower crew and the Toys for Tots Crew began loading up the toys. After the loading were done. Few speech went on and the next NS train was getting ready to come in to P Burg. Now a disclaimer.The 6K4 catch with N&W heritage unit a CP (yes I know its CPKC). The DJ over at the PU Tower was play music. Although I writtenly put in the video. Let me be clear. This wasn't me. I came later on the day and All I'm here is for the Trains and donate a good cause. The 6K4 came and I shot with the former NJT Station buiidling that was on the otherside of the Main St. Bridge and at the former CNJ PU Tower. Man that was a great shot I took if you seen on my Facebook those were wondering. After the toys were loaded. The C&D TFT leaves P Burg to Stockton st yard about a 1/4 mile from the PU Tower and the PRRHS (Phillipsburg RailRoad Histrioic Society) and you can see it on the PU Tower Live Youtube cam. After I stayed and helpped out cleanning up. As the Mall Trafffic and highway Traffic were at the peak in the afternon to evening and then winding down. 23G and 26X came which I didn't film both although the 26X is in my shorts if you want to watch it. Later on, Westbound H76 with the E duo SD40E and SD60E. Then the eastbound I68, a extra section of 268 went nice. A 10K with a Mid DPU. Wrapping up with 269. I want to say thank you to the PU Tower crew for letting me stayed longer and they're very happy I came and give a cause. Onto the catch of the C&D TFT. This time a bit closer to home. C&D Deleware & Raritan line on the Former CSAO Freehold branch and former PRR line. I got out of work again with Approval. I bought one more toy before leaving. I went to Jamesburg to see the final arrival. I would normally start again outside of Freehold to Tennent which is apart of Manalapan Twps because of what happen last year to my pickup. I made a easier choice to head to Jamesburg plus the result of work eariler in the day. I setup over looking Lake Manalapan at Thompson Park since I knew it was coming. As the train came. Tons of birds in the water witness the train as well. Least I had some company. Beside a gentleman who was fishing or so. C&D 2005 with the the TFT Boxcar in blue with the former CR caboose on the rear begins to roll into Jamesburg. Unfortunately, I got held up in traffic due Jamesburg Fire Department escorting Santa to the Fire house. I dropped my toy at the fire and film the consits there as well. I ran into‪@jerseyshorerailproductions‬ who was there. Although I didn't see @JerseyRails104 which I saw his video of it. He was also out for it as well. You can check both of their channels for the entire chase. Later on the night. I head to West Trenton for M410 with CSX 911 trailing second and MP15DC lease trailing. Unfortunately it didn't came through. The only train I caught was M218 load Autoracks. I been trying to catch it for awhile now. Thankfully it had a MACE trailing that made it good. Out of the both toys for tot drive I went to. I donated 41 toys. 40 at PU Tower and one at Jamesburg. As winter begins come in. Will be almost a early warm winter or not. I ain't no weather man.
