Grab shot from the EL train |
| Description: |
The great thing about the EL trains on the Morristown Line was that on the way to Newark they passed Meadows Yard in Kearny, offering views of trains you might not otherwise see. Here, a pair of ex PC/NH/NW/Virginian motors is at the yard with an inbound train. |

Ex Virginian unit |
| Description: |
CR 4601, still lingering in its Penn Central garb, works in New Jersey as seen from a passing NJ Transit train. Kinda tight, but sometimes you have to work with what your given. |

Motor pit |
| Description: |
One place I was usually able to catch CR electric power was at the Kearny motor pit. Unfortunately, it was always a grab shot from a passing train on the ex DLW, which passed along the north side of the facility. Not conducive to good set up, but I made the best of it. |

Ex Virginian power |
| Description: |
As the few electrified roads either shut down, or eliminated their electric operations, the power got sold and moved around. This unit, CR 4610, an E 33 in their parlance, was inherited from Penn Central, who in turn inherited it from New Haven. They bought it from the N&W, who acquired it when they merged the Virginian in 1959, and subsequently shut down the electrification. So, as we see it here on the ex Pennsy Passaic & Harsimus Branch, its now on its fifth owner. Conrail itself would be out of the electrified freight game in another three years. Were looking from the PATH platform at Journal Square, a great place to see the action. |
