Es to the ready track |
| Description: |
A pair of E8s make their way from the engine house to the pocket track beyond the station to await the next GG 1 powered trains arrival. The paint scheme on the lead unit is just one of several NJT tried during the early 80s, though the nose lifting lugs give this away as an ex Pennsy unit. |

| Title: |
Good looking train |
| Description: |
The train was posed on the ex LV bridge for photos. The handrails on the ex CNJ bridge are just barely visible to the left of the lead unit, seen through the trees. The LV bridge was ultimately determined to be deficient, while the CNJ bridge was in much better shape, and it was decided that the Lehigh Line would be swung over to the CNJ alignment and over that bridge, and the right of way realigned on the Jersey side. This is the route NS uses today. |
