Journal Square |
| Description: |
A Conrail train headed from the ex Pennsy to the ex NYC rolls past the PATH station at Journal Square in Jersey City. This was an intresting place to see Conrail trains. At the time, you could see not only diesel powered trains, but some with various electric units as well, including E33's, E44's and GG1's. CR 6520 was almost brand new on the date of this photo. |

Action on the Hack River bridge |
| Description: |
The PATH train from Jersey City to Newark sometimes yielded some good photo ops, if the timing was right. This time I got a train on the P&H line behind a set of SD40-2s, the lead unit one of the newest on the CR roster at the time, and the 5th from last such unit CR would acquire, the final SD40-2 being 6524. If only the PATH train had been a split second faster, the catenary support would not have cut off the pilot of the lead unit. Close but no cigar!! |

CGAL power |
| Description: |
This must have been the only way to get CGALs power back from the east end of the yard. It has dropped its train and is now rolling over the hump to get to the other end. |
