NJT GG1 4879 leads a line of coaches
Title:  NJT GG1 4879 leads a line of coaches
Description:  Conrail operated NJ commuter lines under contract from NJDOT until January 1, 1983 when NJ Transit assumed control. With former PC providing GG-1s, E-8As, and a few E-7As, great passenger consists like this scene were available in NJ for many years. On a hot and bright July day in 1981, GG-1 4879 pulls through South Amboy with a string of coaches. CR retired their freight fleet of GG-1s in 1979, but the NJDOT-contracted GG-1s 4872-4884 saw their operating days extended to the fall of 1983.

NJT 4879
Title:  NJT 4879
Description:  NJT 4879 pulls a short New York bound train past the PATH station at Harrison NJ toward the end of its career. This would be the last GG 1 to run, closing the show in October on a fantrip to Matawan. The PATH trains ran on the outside tracks here-note the third rail. That system was once part of the Pennsy empire, known then as the Hudson & Manhattan, connecting Pennsy stations at Newark and Jersey City with New York starting in 1908.
