Short layover |
| Description: |
This Main Line train on the Erie side has completed its run to Suffern, and is now tat Hillburn waiting for time to roll back into Suffern and get on its way back to Hoboken. The renumbering into Conrails passenger block is underway; this unit is now CR 4153, having given up its EL number of 3353. The NY Thruway passes overhead. The building under the bridge, above the 4th car, is SF tower, which controls the entrance to the yard here, as well as the junction to the Pascack Valley Line, which still had freight customers on it at the time, though passenger trains terminated at Spring Valley. |

| 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. |
