Black and White on the former CNJ (1977)
Posted by Erie Lackawanna on Thursday, June 12, 2008 8:18 AM

I scanned some more of my dad's photographs and wanted to share two from the Summer of 1977.  First is the beautiful CNJ depot at Fanwood/Scotch Plains.

The second is one of CNJ's unique GP40Ps with a Saturday train at Cranford.

Thanks for looking, and corrections are welcome.

Excellent shots as always, Charles. That certainly is a beautiful depot.

Thanks for sharing!

It's always enjoyable to see the GP40P's.  I got pictures of them at Phillipsburg and Raritan on the old CNJ main and at South Amboy on the NY&LB when I visited the area in 1982.

The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul

I still see them everyday, they are rebuilt but plugging along.  Always enjoy the shots, EL.
