Kingsland Passengers |
| Description: |
A morning that started sunny and somewhat warm quickly turned cloudy and chilly. Passengers waiting to escape the cold air watch as a 49-year old ex-CNJ GP40P leads their train into the station. The rail in the platform below are some of the remains of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western's Kingsland Wye. At one point these old buried rails routinely saw local freight trains and shop moves from the Kingsland Car Shops run across the platform. Trash trains to North Arlington in the '80s to the early '90s were the last regular run through traffic to polish these old strings of steel. Today the track is mostly forgotten except for occasional MoW equipment storage. |

| Title: |
Behind Hudson Tower |
| Description: |
NJ Transit's Central Railroad of New Jersey heritage locomotive leads Train #807 west behind the Pennsylvania Railroad's Hudson Tower on Lackawanna rails. Back in 1968 when the 4109 was CNJ 3677 it was no stranger to this neighborhood. The only difference being it would be on the other side of Hudson Tower. Since the CNJ's GP40P never made it to their waterfront terminal (cut off by the Aldene Plan) they only ever used the Pennsylvania Railroad's Newark Penn Station as their final stop. After the trains were cleared they would venture just a bit further east to Harrison where they would clear up the PRR's Hudson Yard to prepare for the return trip to Raritan or Bay Head. |
