Behind Hudson Tower
Title:  Behind Hudson Tower
Description:  NJ Transit's Central Railroad of New Jersey heritage locomotive leads Train #807 west behind the Pennsylvania Railroad's Hudson Tower on Lackawanna rails. Back in 1968 when the 4109 was CNJ 3677 it was no stranger to this neighborhood. The only difference being it would be on the other side of Hudson Tower. Since the CNJ's GP40P never made it to their waterfront terminal (cut off by the Aldene Plan) they only ever used the Pennsylvania Railroad's Newark Penn Station as their final stop. After the trains were cleared they would venture just a bit further east to Harrison where they would clear up the PRR's Hudson Yard to prepare for the return trip to Raritan or Bay Head.

Generations Passing By
Title:  Generations Passing By
Description:  A pair of trains powered by purpose-built commuter locomotives from two very different eras in railroad history pass each other just west of Hoboken Terminal. The 4517 is one of 35 ALP45-DP dual-modes delivered to NJ Transit in 2011. It pushes Train #1716 east as it meets NJ Transit's tribute to the Central Railroad of New Jersey. The 4109 is leading Train #2115 west to Spring Valley and comes from a smaller family of 13 delivered to the CNJ in October of 1968. While these two models of locomotive are vastly different from one another they both share at least one thing in common: both were built to move the commuters of New Jersey.

The Veterans of the Rails
Title:  The Veterans of the Rails
Description:  Two examples from NJ Transit's once large fleet of GP40 rebuilds sit side-by-side on 2 Depot at Hoboken Terminal. The two engines were both born in LaGrange, IL in October of 1968. One a GP40P for the CNJ, the other a GP40 for the Penn Central. The came together on the same roster following heavy rebuilds in the mid-90s at the Juniata Locomotive Shops. Rebuilds that made them look nearly identical until 2019 when the 4109 received its CNJ heritage paint.

A Dirty Shade of Blue
Title:  A Dirty Shade of Blue
Description:  Its been just over a year since NJ Transit revealed their three heritage tribute locomotives back in October of 2019. While the two ALPs were decaled tributes to the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Erie Lackawanna the GP40 selected was one of actual Central Railroad of New Jersey heritage. Since the sunny afternoon when it rolled out of the MMC engine house with all details applied its once shiney fresh blue paint has picked up a fine coat of road grime. Upon its release it was highly criticized by a handful of buffs, foamers and historians alike claiming the slightly metallic paint was too bright and "the wrong shade of blue!" Nobody behind the project at NJ Transit intended for the 4109 to be a perfectly accurate historic restoration. The engine has gone through so many physical alterations over its 52-year career that even if the color was 100% perfect the physical details would still be wrong to the bolt counters. In the end the engine was a pretty impressive project that surprised a lot of people. It was completed on a small budget with limited resources and handful of dedicated employees over the course of two weeks.
