Looking like EL |
| Description: |
The first few years of the Conrail era were transitional as ownership of equipment at facilities was in flux. NJDOT had taken title to some of the rail lines, and most of the equipment, which Conrail then ran under contract, until NJ Transit was created as an operating entity. In the meantime, some things continued as they always had, though some would be modified. One of those was the renumbering of all passenger power into the CR numbering system, which largely followed the PC plan, with all passenger engines numbered in the 4000-4399 series, though with gaps. It took a few years for ELs power to get redone, and for a few years, it was as if nothing had changed. Heres evidence of that, as we see EL 3352, now owned by NJDOT, waiting to head west from Hoboken on a late July afternoon. Interestingly, the EL herald on the nose looks a lot better than the stick on NJDOT decal midway down the long hood. |
