CNJ Trains (conrail) at Cranford 1977
Posted by Erie Lackawanna on Monday, December 17, 2007 11:40 AM

These two photographs were taken in June of 1977 at the Cranford NJ station.   First one shows the rear of a Raritan bound train pulling out with the distinctive CNJ push pull cab car trailing, while the Scoot waits to depart on its track. (Anyone know why it would have been on the eastbound track? This was a Saturday.)

Second is a close up of the CNJ logo on RDC1 #553.  The Scoot was a fun ride, which I really wish I had taken more times than I did.

If you note anything wrong in the captions, please don't hesitate to send me corrections.   Thanks for looking,   Charles
