Built in 1925 for Blue Comet service between Jersey City and Atlantic City, this car was named after the comet "D'Arrest".

Title:
CNJ 1173
Description:
The name "Beachcomber" can still be seen on the side of this former CNJ coach parked on home rails at Winslow Junction. After the Blue Comet run was discontinued, CNJ 1173 became part of the regular commuter pool. The name comes from its regular use on New York & Long Branch trains between Jersey City and Bay Head Junction.
