All of the NJT E60s acquired from Amtrak were equipped with HEP and not steam generators. If an E60 did couple up to a GN coach it would not have been on an in-service train.

Every picture I've seen of those ex-BN NJT cars was on the service to Bay Head, NJ (dubbed the Bay Head Builder) behind ex-CNJ GP40Ps.

Of the 26 E60s, 6 were built with steam generators as E60CP, with the remainder having HEP and being designated E60CH. All the E60CPs lost their steam generators, but for some reason 2 never recieved HEP.
