More lite power |
| Description: |
The steam generator end of a GP40P passes by on its way to the pocket track. There was still a fair amount of steam heated equipment in NJ Transit at this time, and these boilers got good use. |

Classic nose |
| Description: |
The nose of E8 4305 in the EL inspired scheme NJ Transit used in its early days. The nose lifting rings are a giveaway that this was an ex PRR unit. |

Lite Es |
| Description: |
A pair of E8s moves to the pocket track to wait for a train from New York. NJT 4326 shows the second variation of the "disco" scheme to grace the E's, platinum must with stripes. It's a lot less garish than the white that they first tried. |

Power change |
| Description: |
After the GG 1s were retired in 1983, NJ Transit acquired some second hand Amtrak E 60s to cover their North Jersey Coast trains on the NY&LB as far as South Amboy. Here we see the swap complete, and the E 60 headed to the yard. Somehow, its just not the same!! |
