New Jersey Transit's "Heritage" Engines

How about blue painted CNJ 4109?

I imagine most New Jersey Transit fans probably follow all of the railroads that did, or do, serve the Great State of New Jersey.  If there are any O Gauge Railroading members who are Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines fans and/or modelers, consider a visit to the PRSL Historical Society web site.

Membership in the Society is FREE...but Note: The site appears not to be a current one!  I plan to contract them before attempting to join using my email address.  Anyway, you can still take a ride on the PRSL when you go to www.prslhs.com

I believe you'll be glad you did!

Joe - great website! Thanks.

What amazes me most is that 4109 is still operating in revenue service with over 50 years in service.  Granted the three remaining GP40Ps have been rebuilt, it is truly a testament to the quality of the -40 series EMDs in general.  I remember them when they had their original CNJ paint in the 3600 series the last year the CNJ operated them.

Of all the variations of the GP40, this one has always been my favorite with the longer frame, SD45 style flared radiators, and that imposing flat long hood face.   

A GP40P running long hood forward was an impressive sight indeed. The photo of the 4106 (former CNJ 3677) was taken by me May 22, 1979 at Middletown along the NY&LB.
