Elegance in appliances
Title:  Elegance in appliances
Description:  I have to keep reminding myself, in todays age of steel tubes, that there once was a certain elegance to industrial design. This number board on a DLW MU may not be an important detail, but it appears an effort was made to make it look attractive while functional.

Looking like EL
Title:  Looking like EL
Description:  The first few years of the Conrail era were transitional as ownership of equipment at facilities was in flux. NJDOT had taken title to some of the rail lines, and most of the equipment, which Conrail then ran under contract, until NJ Transit was created as an operating entity. In the meantime, some things continued as they always had, though some would be modified. One of those was the renumbering of all passenger power into the CR numbering system, which largely followed the PC plan, with all passenger engines numbered in the 4000-4399 series, though with gaps. It took a few years for ELs power to get redone, and for a few years, it was as if nothing had changed. Heres evidence of that, as we see EL 3352, now owned by NJDOT, waiting to head west from Hoboken on a late July afternoon. Interestingly, the EL herald on the nose looks a lot better than the stick on NJDOT decal midway down the long hood.

Transition!!
Title:  Transition!!
Description:  With apolpogies to Zero Mostel. As mentioned elsewhere in this group, the predecessor roads power was moved into the CR numbering system. Heres a couple of units showing that process. NJDOT 4169, formerly EL 3369, leads a train out of the shed while 3354, still wearing its EL colors and number, is in the background. The renumberings and ownership change didnt stop CR, who ran the trains under contract, from doing the same thing EL had done, much to New Jerseys chagrin. Theyd borrow a set of power to run a freight to Binghamton or Buffalo over a weekend, hoping they got it back to Suffern or Port Jervis in time for Mondays rush.

Port Jervis train
Title:  Port Jervis train
Description:  While most of the trains on the ELs Erie side ran to Suffern, just over the state line in NY, there were still several that ran the 87 miles to Port Jervis, at that time via the Main Line through Goshen and Chester. The move to the Graham Line was still five years in the future at uhe time of the photo. Because the run to PO had 57 miles in New York, MTA funded some of the equipment in that pool, including this set of coaches, hence the much different appearance from the Comet Is used in New Jersey. These were built to the specs for the Silverliners, but without the electrical equipment.

Familiar face
Title:  Familiar face
Description:  There were a couple of SW 9s that worked at Hoboken during the EL years. Both stayed on after CR startup, and on into NJ Transit. In 1978, this one was still in its old owners colors, thought the name had been painted out. They could have left the number, which was unchanged, in its original typeface.
