| The ex CNJ Raritan Line is now all push pull with F40s and Comets, a far dry from less than ten years ago, when it was still possible to see ex CNJ GP40Ps and GP7Ps with 1920s era coaches plying the line, which then went to Phillipsburg on the Delaware River. The new equipment is more comfortable and reliable, but I miss the aroma of brake shoe smoke coming in the open windows. Heres a rebuilt GP 40 type pushing a set of Comets toward Newark Penn Station for a connection to New York. |
