NJT 4876 |
| Description: |
NJT 4876 speeds through Rahway with a Bay Head train. This was the engine that gained notoriety when it crashed into Washington Union Station with a runaway Federal in 1953. It was cut in half and removed from the basement of the station to run again, which it did til 1983. Note the Pennsy car behind the GG 1. There were two subscription parlors on the North Jersey Coast Line, one that ran from Newark as part of the Jersey Central side of the operation. The other was a Pennsy car that ran on a New York train. Both cars ran an inbound trip in the morning, and an outbound trip in the afternoon, serving refreshments appropriate for the time of day. |

Awaiting the torch |
| Description: |
The torch has been passed. Now these GG 1s await a different torch, the one that will put them permanently in their graves, at Harrison in April 1984. Interestingly, the lead G is the Union Station runaway engine from the famous Federal Express wreck in 1953, now going to scrap after a second life. |
