This is my grandfather George Korn who spent his entire life working for the CNJ. He worked primarily out of the large rail yard on Trumball Street in Elizabeth, NJ just outside of the old Singer Sewing Machine factory.
He retired in 1961 but for many years after continued to visit the yard and his former friends and co-workers. Since I grew up in the same house and my father was at work, most days I was in tow.
That's my grandfather again bottom left and me up in the window of the cab. I'm guessing this is about 1965.
I'm assuming it was some kind of switcher but was hoping the experts could offer up some more info based on the cab, number, etc... looks like it says 1000 H.P. I would love to know more.
Thanks in advance !
