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. |

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. |

Port Jervis train |
| Description: |
While most of the trains on the ELs Erie side ran to Suffern, just over the state line in NY, there were still several that ran the 87 miles to Port Jervis, at that time via the Main Line through Goshen and Chester. The move to the Graham Line was still five years in the future at uhe time of the photo. Because the run to PO had 57 miles in New York, MTA funded some of the equipment in that pool, including this set of coaches, hence the much different appearance from the Comet Is used in New Jersey. These were built to the specs for the Silverliners, but without the electrical equipment. |

Formal wear?? |
| Description: |
Not exactly. This NJ Transit U34, a former EL unit, is dressed a little better than most of the fleet in its blue and gray, but not quite ready for a formal dinner at the town that invented it. The Tuxedo station is now their police station. |

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. |

Old and new order |

The GP 40 rebuild at left is the wave of the future, taking over from the now classic U34CH at right, in service for 17 years at this point, and reaching the end of its service life, though that design will hold on for a few more years. The old Erie coal dock is visible above the GP40, almost 40 years after the last steam ran here. |

Not your average EL meet. |
| Description: |
RDCs were never part of the EL world-the ones here came from PRSL-so to see then meeting a train of the usual EL equipment here at Suffern, is, well, unusual. Otherwise the shot is classic EL, four track main, station house on the left next to the eastbound platform. Just need a PO Ordinary rolling down the inside track toward Croxton behind a mix of GP 7's and RS 3's. |

New paint |
| Description: |
By the early 80s, New Jersey was starting to get a cohesive look to their rail operations, which up til then had been a hodge podge of predecessor equipment and operations run by Conrail under contract to NJDOT. Once an agreement was worked out for New Jersey to run them directly, they started to work on a single image. One of the features of that image was this paint scheme, commonly known as the "disco" scheme for its bright stripes. It was not well received by fans, who preferred something more like youd see on a real railroad, and not a bus. Their protestations were to no avail, as NJ Transit is still using a modification of it today. Meanwhile, heres an ex EL U34 in disco dress leaving Hoboken. |

Erie Lackawanna lives |
| Description: |
I have occasionally mentioned that in the early days of Conrail, and even in the NJ Transit era, it was possible to get the flavor of the predecessor roads while on their lines. Case in point: Hoboken. Here we see a train bound for the Main Line to Suffern, behind power and cars that could, except for the diamond herald on the power(many of the cars still carried them) be an EL train. In the background is a DLW MU car, still lettered EL, and, lo and behold, and ex Erie Stilwell, albeit painted CR blue and probably an office, or in MOW service, a task it most likely ended its EL career doing. Hoboken, and to some extent the entire ex EL operation, was a time machine. |

Now a classic |
| Description: |
By the 1990s, the U34s were getting old, and NJ Transit had been taking deliveries on a variety of new and rebuilt EMDs for several years. The GEs were not long for the world. It was good to see one in an EL stronghold. I wonder if Conrail wants to borrow a couple to run DABU to Buffalo?? |
