Grab shot from the EL train |
Description: |
The great thing about the EL trains on the Morristown Line was that on the way to Newark they passed Meadows Yard in Kearny, offering views of trains you might not otherwise see. Here, a pair of ex PC/NH/NW/Virginian motors is at the yard with an inbound train. |

Class unit |
Description: |
By number or by style, the electrics had class, though its hard to say much for style on a unit that was known as a "brick." Still, they did have an aura of raw power when rolling down the ex Pennsy main at speed that was unmatched. This one is at Linden, seen from the southbound Crescent. |

Getting underway |
Description: |
A pair of E 44s rolls past Crystal City in Arlington Va, having just departed Potomac Yard for Jersey. Pot yard was still a happening place at the time, and a lot of freight was interchanged there between B&O, C&O, Southern, RF&P and Conrail. Mergers over the next decade would render the yard redundant in a big way, and what was once a yard several miles long is now strip malls, hotels, and chain food joints. Ah, progress.... |

Well protected |
Description: |
The tunnels at Baltimore could be a bottleneck especially if a train had a problem while in them. To forestall any delays to Amtrak, as well as keep its own traffic moving, CR stationed a unit outside the tunnel for just such an occasion. Hopefully, he didnt get too much work. We see the E 44 assigned for todays task at Penn Station. |
