Three years ago, on Tuesday, June 2, 2009, the afternoon Conrail local out of Browns Yard in central New Jersey was led by NS GP38-2 5271 and CSX GP40-2 4429, both former Conrail units, the 8061 and 3346 respectively. The skyline of Helmetta is dominated by the abandoned Helme Snuff Mill and the town's water tower in the distance.
