Transition!!
Title:  Transition!!
Description:  With apolpogies to Zero Mostel. As mentioned elsewhere in this group, the predecessor roads power was moved into the CR numbering system. Heres a couple of units showing that process. NJDOT 4169, formerly EL 3369, leads a train out of the shed while 3354, still wearing its EL colors and number, is in the background. The renumberings and ownership change didnt stop CR, who ran the trains under contract, from doing the same thing EL had done, much to New Jerseys chagrin. Theyd borrow a set of power to run a freight to Binghamton or Buffalo over a weekend, hoping they got it back to Suffern or Port Jervis in time for Mondays rush.
