Newark bound |
| Description: |
A going away shot of a Newark bound train from Phillipsburg-the mid day P-burg train usually got ex Santa Fe or Rock Island long haul cars-on the ex CNJ. The power would run around the trains at the end of the run, making for a challenging view for the engineers. CNJ did have cab cars on some trains, adapted from their 1925 coaches. They typically ran on the east end of the train, though there were not enough to cover all the trains. |

| Title: |
Two units to Phillipsburg |
| Description: |
NJ Transit continued running two rush hour trains to Phillipsburg NJ, as well as a mid day run, until 1983. Here one of the rush hour trains is ready to go from Newark Penn Station behind a GP7P-note the squared off end on the long hood of the lead unit-and a GP40P. NJ Transit adopted the paint scheme used on the EL U34CHs until it came up with the "disco" scheme in the mid 80s. Many of the fans thought this was an elegant paint scheme, and that the new scheme was not an improvement. |
