I could have sworn I saw "green" CNJ or NJC or something "Jersey" F3's in O Gauge, and now I cannot find them.
All i see id the Blue and Orange ones.
Only green ones I see are Williams.
What passenger cars did these green F3's pull?

Mth made a set several years ago. I used to own one but sold it awhile ago.
The CNJ 'Green' F-3s (10-A's + 5 B's) were road freight locomotives. With this said, they may have pulled passenger cars as anything can happen on the railroad, but I have never seen a photo or heard a documented fact that they ever did during their service as CNJ locomotives.
MTH did green w/yellow stripes
Williams did green w/yellow stripes
RMT did green with no yellow stripes
Hope this helps.

Before you go purchasing a set of CNJ F3s decorated in the tangerine (orange) and blue scheme, be forewarned CNJ F-units were not used in passenger service regardless of what colors they were wearing at the time. As stated above by Walter, they were freight locomotives. In the diesel era, CNJ powered its passenger trains using the unique Baldwin "double enders" along with a variety of road switchers built by ALCo, Baldwin, EMD and Fairbanks-Morse.

No. He said Baldwin "Double ENDERS", not double headers. Those special "double ended" Baldwins had a cab on each end.

So I guess it was just Erie, Lackawanna, and CNJ that ran out of the Erie Hoboken Terminal?
I want to try and model it.

No. Prior to about 1956, the Erie had their own terminal in Jersey City, I think. The CNJ, also had their own terminal in Jersey City, while the DL&W had their own terminal in Hoboken. The Erie "moved out" of their terminal and combined operations with DL&W out of the Hoboken terminal (1955 or 1957?).
