E60 |
| Description: |
By this time in 1983, NJ Transit had acquired some Amtrak E 60s to replace he GG 1s, which were slated for retirement. This one has just cut off its train from New York at South Amboy, and continues the time honored tradition of the engine change, pulling past the crossivers to head for the small yard. Note the crossing guard shanty and the old hand operated gates. These would soon pass into history. |

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!! |

New era |
| Description: |
Contrast this photo to the shot my dad took from roughly the same angle in 1964. Here we have an NJ Transit E60 ready to head into Penn Station with a Bay Head train, and an Amtrak SW 1. Not quite the same as GG 1s and a horde of P 70s. |

Ready for the evening |
| Description: |
An ex Amtrak E 60 is ready to go into Penn Station for a trip to South Amboy later this afternoon. The E 60s were to take over the role of the GG 1s, but never seemed to quite live up to their predecessors repuation. |
