NJ Transit 5902 |
| Description: |
Among the units NJ Transit inherited from Conrail were a group of GP7Ps that came from CNJ. They lasted into the mid 80s along with the hand me down cars, everything from the ex BN Empire Builder cars to original CNJ coaches from 1925. Here, 5902, a former CNJ GP7P is at Newark Penn Station. |

Ex CNJ power |
| Description: |
A pair of ex CNJ units readies for the evening rush at Harrison. The heritage is obvious on the trailing unit, CR 5679, as it still carries the CNJ "toothpaste" scheme. The lead unit is not as obvious-you have to look at the end of the long hood to see the squared off section housing the steam generator to see it's a former CNJ GP7P. |

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. |

NJT 5907 |
| Description: |
Except for the paint on the diesel, this train looks just like what it is, a CNJ train from Raritan that has just dropped its New York passengers at Newark Penn Station, and is now heading for the layup tracks at Harrison. The power is an ex CNJ GP7P-note the squared off lower portion of the long hood. The cars are vintage 1925. |

Unusual power |
| Description: |
There was not a lot of crossover from one line to another. Thus it was very unusual to see former CNJ power on the EL, or vice versa. This pair of ex CNJ GP7Ps was a rare find at Hoboken at that time. |

CNJ units |
| Description: |
Another day at Harrison, we see a different GP7P, and a GP40P in the rain. Note the coach behind 5908. It's one of the BN cars acquired by CNJ that ran on the Bay Head Builder, now repainted in the last CNJ passenger car scheme. |
