MUs at Penn Station
Title:  MUs at Penn Station
Description:  Newark Penn Station was a cavernous affair, and handled not only NJ Transit and Amtrak trains, but also PATH trains from Manhattan, as that operation was once the Pennsy run Hudson and Manhattan system. Here a Trenton bound train pauses on its way west.

MUs to New York
Title:  MUs to New York
Description:  I never took much notice to MU trains; I lived on a line that was entirely run with MU cars(LIRR Port Washington branch) so they were not a big deal. Jerseys were no different, and I figured, why waste film on glorified subway cars. While an afterthought on a day of seeking out the Gs and Es of legend, I grabbed this shot of a set of Arrows leaving South Amboy. Not too bad, I think. Note the approaching Bay Head train with a GP40P on the near track.
