A Rumble in the Depot |
| Description: |
At the peak of the AM rush Train #1070 arrives in the depot with a locomotive on its east end. The depot that is usually filled with the sounds of hurried footsteps as commuters rush to make their connections is drowned out by the rumble of the 645 at the heart of this 49-year old beast. |

Back from the Dead... Kinda |
| Description: |
While its only filling in as a "cab car," one of NJ Transits "new" dinosaurs got a chance to stretch its legs today on the first regularly scheduled trains its been a part of since September 27, 2013. This old screamer and its sister, 4120, are currently the only two F40s left on NJ Transits roster that actually run and two of three left on the property. For the last few years both have been either stored OOS or demoted to utility and yard work with the 4118 sitting dead in storage at the MMC. The remainder of the 17 ordered new for the agency in October of 1981 (the first new locomotive order actually placed by NJT) have all been sold off to new homes across the country. Some for scrap, some to tourist railroads and others to experimental rebuilders. Four of which still run on NJ Transit rails but are now owned by Metro-North for their West-of-Hudson service. This eastbound train is seen here zipping by Amtraks Hudson Tower in some crunchy morning light under Lackawanna wire on the return trip to Hoboken. Supplying HEP on the other end of the train is NJTR 4202, one of four of the oldest engines on the current roster being built for the New York Central in October of 1965. |

Work With Pride |
| Description: |
One of NJ Transit's two AquaTrain sets is parked in Hoboken's Engine House this weekend to avoid freezing in the tank cars and the water lines that run between them. The AquaTrain is essentially a gigantic pressure washer mounted on a flat car that shoots highly pressurized water at the head of the rail to remove leaf oils in an effort to reduce wheel slip during the autumn months. |

Back on the Road |
| Description: |
After spending nearly four years in non-revenue status one of NJ Transit's 4200-series Conrail rebuilds was reactivated for Passenger service in late January of 2018. It shares its reactivation with two others that had been sitting in storage for some time. The 4205 and its unique "Speed Stripe" paint leads Train #1727 west through the Lyndhurst meadows on the way to Suffern. |

Generational Gap |
| Description: |
Two generations of equipment share time together in the depot. A battle-scarred GP40 with nearly 50 years running and millions of miles of both freight and passenger experience from Penn Central, Conrail and NJ Transit rumbles away on Track 3 with the new generation of equipment staring it down from a distance. For now these tired old soldiers continue to provide service but for how much longer? With every passing year the equipment on New Jersey's commuter lines becomes less and less diverse. These tired old geeps won't be around forever. Especially with a recent announcement that NJ Transit has ordered an additional 17 ALP45 dual-modes from Bombardier. It feels like just last week I was coming to work in Hoboken for an afternoon assignment to a house with a dozen or more of them rumbling away ready for their westbound journey to wherever. |

The Veterans of the Rails |
| Description: |
Two examples from NJ Transit's once large fleet of GP40 rebuilds sit side-by-side on 2 Depot at Hoboken Terminal. The two engines were both born in LaGrange, IL in October of 1968. One a GP40P for the CNJ, the other a GP40 for the Penn Central. The came together on the same roster following heavy rebuilds in the mid-90s at the Juniata Locomotive Shops. Rebuilds that made them look nearly identical until 2019 when the 4109 received its CNJ heritage paint. |

Celebrating 242 Years |
| Description: |
The day marks 242 years since the Second Continental Congress ratified the Declaration of Independence after already being at war with the Kingdom of Great Britain for over a year. This seemingly quiet, humid night at Hoboken Terminal turned into a roaring thunderstorm of colorful explosions from displays both massive and small in every which way you looked. Just as the huge flowing bursts of light from the Macys East River fireworks display started to decorate the night sky Train #81 was all business as it was just about ready to depart for the long 2½ trip to Port Jervis, NY. |

Upper Hack Lift |
| Description: |
Westbound Train #57 crosses the Hackensack River at Upper Hack drawbridge on its way to Port Jervis. The bridge currently holds the title of the newest movable bridge on NJ Transit property. It was built by the Delaware Lackawanna & Western in 1958 to replace the original two-track span that was outdated and damaged by tidal river currents. The expenses related to building this bridge were among the final straws to break the camels back for the Lackawanna Railroad that would eventually result in the official merger of the Erie and the Lackawanna in October of 1960. |
