Erie Lackawanna painted diesel in northern NJ - what did I see? | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

While driving south past NYC yesterday in the Newark, NJ area, I noticed on my left two diesel locomotives paired together and parked on a siding facing south. One was in NS B&W, and the other in bright, clean, and shiny EL colors. Wow, did it look great! What would that have been?

Several CSX engines facing north were on parked on other tracks just a few hundred yards down the road.

I did not have time to snap pics, but wish I had.

Thanks.

NS has six re- powered ex-Conrail- EL SD45-2s. #1700 was painted as delivered to EL 11/72.
