A grab shot from a passing PATH train of NJT 4100, the class unit of the ex CNJ GP40P's. The "P" in the model designation is still active, as evidenced by the steam leaking from the lines. |

All kinds of good stuff |
| Description: |
This view of the Harrison lay up yard shows some of the variety of equipment that was running out of Newark in the late 70s. Most prominent is CR 4101, a former CNJ unit still in its original owners paint, though renumbered into the CR passenger unit series. To the left of the GP40P is a coach in Great Northern Big Sky blue, one of a fleet of cars acquired from BN at Amtrak start up, and used mostly on the NY & Long Branch, for which that train set became known as the "Bay Head Empire Builder." At right, we see the Reading RDCs used on the Crusader, which had another three years to live at this point. It used the CNJ via the Aldene Connection out to Bound Brook, then onto the Reading for the trip to Philly. |

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. |

CNJ action |
| Description: |
The Central RR of New Jersey main hosted trains to Raritan, as well as several to Phillipsburg every day. One of the more important stations was Bound Brook, where at this time it was still possible to get a train to Reading Terminal in Philadelphia twice a day. By this time, the four track main was mostly a mockery of what had once been a busy railroad. Fittingly, one of CNJs GP40Ps handles a mid day Raritan train here. |

Newark bound |
| Description: |
A going away shot of a Newark bound train from Phillipsburg-the mid day P-burg train usually got ex Santa Fe or Rock Island long haul cars-on the ex CNJ. The power would run around the trains at the end of the run, making for a challenging view for the engineers. CNJ did have cab cars on some trains, adapted from their 1925 coaches. They typically ran on the east end of the train, though there were not enough to cover all the trains. |

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. |

CNJ power on the NY&LB |
| Description: |
The NY and Long Branch was jointly operated by PRR and CNJ prior to Conrail. CNJs trains originated from their Jersey City terminal until 1967, when the Aldene plan moved them into Newark Penn Station, with a cross platform transfer from New York connections. Here we see on of them, led by GP40P 4105. Note the crossing gates. They were manually operated at this time. |

Long hood first |
| Description: |
Commuter trains on the Bay Head line didnt usually run backwards, as there was a loop to turn at Bay Head. This unit must have come in off the Raritan Valley and was not able to be turned before going out to the shore. It does show the rear end configuration well. Note the first three cars of the train-they are ex Empire Builder cars acquired from BN, the first one still in its GN Big Sky garb. |

Looks like NKP 765 is doing most of the work as the engine and its tool cars pass Arden. Rather than take a lot of time to have the Berk back to Campbell Hall, turn, and return to Port Jervis, the train headed to Hoboken behind M&E Alcos, with the steamer returning behind this NJT unit. |

Getting ready to head back |
| Description: |
NJT 4110, an ex CNJ unit, has run around its train at Phillipsburg and is about to couple up and head back to Newark. The CNJ main, now the Raritan Line, had a mid day run to the end of the line in Philipsburg. Most of the outlying areas were served by trains that were geared to a NY commuter, so it was difficult at best to ride some of them from the New York end, as I was doing most of the time-and why I still have not gotten the miles on the Pascack Valley Line. This line was the exception, and I was able to ride it before it was cut west of High Bridge in the mid 1980's. |
