New power |
| Description: |
A weekend trip to New York found me passing through Port Jervis. There I found this rebuilt GP 40 waiting for Mondays rush hour. The era of U34s was closing, and "new" power was coming on line as NJ Transit and Metro North, who funded the operation west of Suffern, upgraded their power from the hand me downs of the previous decade. |

Old and new order |
| Description: |
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. |

Pushing to Newark |
| Description: |
The ex CNJ Raritan Line is now all push pull with F40s and Comets, a far dry from less than ten years ago, when it was still possible to see ex CNJ GP40Ps and GP7Ps with 1920s era coaches plying the line, which then went to Phillipsburg on the Delaware River. The new equipment is more comfortable and reliable, but I miss the aroma of brake shoe smoke coming in the open windows. Heres a rebuilt GP 40 type pushing a set of Comets toward Newark Penn Station for a connection to New York. |

Beach ball |
| Description: |
A GP 40 type sits at Port Jervis waiting out the weekend. Metro North contracted NJ Transit to operate the line from Suffern west, and contributed equipment to a pool used to run those trains. This unit in the "beach ball" schem was part of that pool. |

Comparing notes |
| Description: |
What was it the engines said?? GP 40s from two roads share quality time waiting for Monday. The Metro North unit was new at the time, freshly rebuilt. The NJT unit was also rebuilt, having been upgraded from its original steam era configuration to HEP power, as well as renewing all components. |

A GP 40 rebuild in the Metro North beach ball scheme sits at Port Jervis over the weekend. In the distance, the Erie Port Jervis station can be seen; at right is signal 87-2, the distant signal for BC, where the double track goes to single as the line heads out of Port Jervis toward Otisville. |
