A Dirty Shade of Blue |
| Description: |
Its been just over a year since NJ Transit revealed their three heritage tribute locomotives back in October of 2019. While the two ALPs were decaled tributes to the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Erie Lackawanna the GP40 selected was one of actual Central Railroad of New Jersey heritage. Since the sunny afternoon when it rolled out of the MMC engine house with all details applied its once shiney fresh blue paint has picked up a fine coat of road grime. Upon its release it was highly criticized by a handful of buffs, foamers and historians alike claiming the slightly metallic paint was too bright and "the wrong shade of blue!" Nobody behind the project at NJ Transit intended for the 4109 to be a perfectly accurate historic restoration. The engine has gone through so many physical alterations over its 52-year career that even if the color was 100% perfect the physical details would still be wrong to the bolt counters. In the end the engine was a pretty impressive project that surprised a lot of people. It was completed on a small budget with limited resources and handful of dedicated employees over the course of two weeks. |

A 52-year old veteran of the Central Railroad of New Jersey visiting the DL&W's Passaic & Delaware Branch storms over the North Branch of the Raritan River at the Hogback Bridge just west of Far Hills. For the second day in a row a shortage of the usual Arrow III MUs has resulting in a 3-car diesel set running under wire from Hoboken to Gladstone. |

Autumn Comes to the Rails |
| Description: |
Autumn officially arrives on NJ Transit when the "AquaTrain" hits the rails. Think of it as a gigantic power washer that's sprays extremely high-pressure water at the head of the rails. This washes away the oily residues left behind by crushed leaves and blows those that haven't been crushed away to fight the delays and damages caused by wheelslip. This odd looking train can be found running almost 24 hours a day from the beginning of October to the middle of December on the Hoboken Division. It spends most of its time on the former Lackawanna electrified lines but does occasionally wander over to the Erie side. The Newark division has their own based out of Raritan that runs Monday-Friday and occasionally visits the North Jersey Coast Line on weekends. |

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. |

| Description: |
Train #55 passes the Erie Railroad's historic WC Tower with a 51-year old GP40 that started life as EMD Demonstrator EMDX 24. The bottom of this frame contains a portion of the original model board that called this very same tower home for many years. In time it will be mounted in its rightful place again as the towers restoration to it's 1920's appearance continues. |

Generations Passing By |
| Description: |
A pair of trains powered by purpose-built commuter locomotives from two very different eras in railroad history pass each other just west of Hoboken Terminal. The 4517 is one of 35 ALP45-DP dual-modes delivered to NJ Transit in 2011. It pushes Train #1716 east as it meets NJ Transit's tribute to the Central Railroad of New Jersey. The 4109 is leading Train #2115 west to Spring Valley and comes from a smaller family of 13 delivered to the CNJ in October of 1968. While these two models of locomotive are vastly different from one another they both share at least one thing in common: both were built to move the commuters of New Jersey. |

Licking the Wounds |
| Description: |
On a sunny Friday morning Train #6611 arrives at Dover Station while mechanical forces address some mild damage to the 4110 from an incident the night before. About 12 hours earlier the 4110 was returning home to Dover on YD-43 with a handful of equipment from the MMC when they hit a stalled car carrier truck stranded over Station Road crossing at Mount Tabor station. Thankfully no serious injuries came of the incident to both crew and the public. The following morning as the rush neared its end the engine was spotted at the east end of S-6 in Dover Yard to place it close to the yards machine shop. Mechanical forces spent the better part of the morning welding the rear pilot of the 52-year old ex-CNJ veteran to make her roadworthy again. |

Send In the Reserves |
| Description: |
As NJ Transit continues to work through the testing phases of PTC across the system the commuter railroad has found itself short of power. In an effort to alleviate the stress of the demands of the PTC program a pair of unlikely veterans have been pulled from the benches to take a few swings. Train #1171 departs Hoboken on a later summer afternoon with NJ Transit's last two active F40s, the 4119 and 4120. "The Twins" were paired up on this train as part of a shakedown run in their first revenue passenger runs in years without any other HEP-equipped power to assist. The plan was to let them run a fairly simple cycle of trains for a few days so they can be easily monitored. If all went well both would be split apart and released into active service by themselves. Unfortunately the 4119 suffered a minor failure that only allowed it to run a single round trip. The following morning both engines were removed and sent back to the MMC with the intention of returning as soon as the issues are resolved. |

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. |

Twilight Twins |
| Description: |
Minutes after the sun slipped below the horizon NJ Transit's "twins" rumble across the Hackensack River with Train #1171 to Suffern, NY at HX Drawbridge. The pair have been running together for most of the week as part of an ongoing effort alleviate the stresses of NJ Transit's PTC testing program. With so many locomotives tied up in daily testing these two "retired" veterans have been filling in for passenger service out of Hoboken. The 4119 would suffer a mechanical failure later in this run that once again makes an uncertain future for this pair in passenger service. |
