A Busy Hoboken Morning |
| Description: |
It's a "business-as-usual" Friday on a cold December morning in Hoboken. NJ Transit's "Railmen for Children" Santa train hangs out of the house on 8 Depot with the new CNJ tribute on the lead paired up with another ex-CNJ sister. The train will soon leave Hoboken with a train load of students from school across North Jersey adding another sucesful trip to the employee-run charity's books. |

GP40Ps on the Waterfront |
| Description: |
The Central Railroad of New Jersey had already closed their Jersey City waterfront terminal by the time their iconic GP40Ps arrived in October of 1968. For almost 15 years these engines would exclusively run trains over the former CNJ lines that terminated at Newark Penn Station and Hudson Yard. However, by 1983 things started to change as Conrail officially handed over commuter rail operations to New Jersey Transit. Before long the 13 ex-CNJ GP40Ps would finally taste the salty air of New York Harbor albeit from Lackawanna rails and in NJDOT or NJ Transit colors. As time went by their presence on the Hoboken Division would become more and common as they were modified from steam generators to HEP motors. Upon returning from their early-'90s Altoona rebuilds these locomotives would almost exclusively call the DL&W and Erie rails of the Hoboken Division home with the occasional visit to CNJ rails. It wouldn't be until late 2019 that one of the 13 would wear "CNJ" paint inspired by their as-delivered appearance this close to New York City. |

Real Locomotives |
| Description: |
A pair of 51-year old ex-CNJ GP40Ps are ready to lead NJ Transit's "Railmen for Children" west on the Boonton Line for a trip to Port Morris Yard and back. The lead engine is one of NJ Transit's three newest heritage locomotives paying tribute to the Central Railroad of New Jersey. There's something about the look of a 2nd generation standard cab EMD that just say "Locomotive" to me. I grew up when NJ Transit was in the process of ordering a ton of GP40 rebuilds and almost all the Conrail trains that ran through my hometown of Rutherford were all EMD GP and SD power until the C40-8Ws started to show up. Personally I like the modern appearance of a lot of the newer power that on the rails today but no matter how technology advances as time goes by whenever someone says the world "locomotive" the image that pops up in my head is a GP40. |
