NJTR 4109 |
| Description: |
A former CNJ GP40P visits the old CNJ mainline in commuter service for the first time in many years. Usually confined to the Hoboken Division, 4109 is seen on Train 2406, the only Hoboken bound train on the Raritan Valley Line. The Geep is seen leading east due to its consist being turned on the Bay Head loop the day prior. |

GP40Ps on the Waterfront |
| Description: |
The Central Railroad of New Jersey had already closed their Jersey City waterfront terminal by the time their iconic GP40Ps arrived in October of 1968. For almost 15 years these engines would exclusively run trains over the former CNJ lines that terminated at Newark Penn Station and Hudson Yard. However, by 1983 things started to change as Conrail officially handed over commuter rail operations to New Jersey Transit. Before long the 13 ex-CNJ GP40Ps would finally taste the salty air of New York Harbor albeit from Lackawanna rails and in NJDOT or NJ Transit colors. As time went by their presence on the Hoboken Division would become more and common as they were modified from steam generators to HEP motors. Upon returning from their early-'90s Altoona rebuilds these locomotives would almost exclusively call the DL&W and Erie rails of the Hoboken Division home with the occasional visit to CNJ rails. It wouldn't be until late 2019 that one of the 13 would wear "CNJ" paint inspired by their as-delivered appearance this close to New York City. |

Heritage and the Holidays |
| Description: |
In the early hours of a cold December morning at Hoboken Terminal the sound of two ex-CNJ GP40s rumble just outside the historic depot sheds. In just a few hours the train will head west with a trainload of children from schools all across New Jersey for the annual employee-sponsored "Railmen for Children" Santa train. |

Real Locomotives |
| Description: |
A pair of 51-year old ex-CNJ GP40Ps are ready to lead NJ Transit's "Railmen for Children" west on the Boonton Line for a trip to Port Morris Yard and back. The lead engine is one of NJ Transit's three newest heritage locomotives paying tribute to the Central Railroad of New Jersey. There's something about the look of a 2nd generation standard cab EMD that just say "Locomotive" to me. I grew up when NJ Transit was in the process of ordering a ton of GP40 rebuilds and almost all the Conrail trains that ran through my hometown of Rutherford were all EMD GP and SD power until the C40-8Ws started to show up. Personally I like the modern appearance of a lot of the newer power that on the rails today but no matter how technology advances as time goes by whenever someone says the world "locomotive" the image that pops up in my head is a GP40. |

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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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. |
