Es waiting for the rush
Title:  Es waiting for the rush
Description:  One of the things I would do in that era was take either the PATH train to Newark, which yielded a good view of the storage tracks for the commuter trains, or ride the ex DLW out of Hoboken to Newark, which had a view of the engine tracks at Kearny. This day, it was a PATH trip. Going through Harrison, there was this pair of Es on a train that would go to Bay Head during the evening rush

NJT E8A #4285 - New Jersey Transit
Title:  NJT E8A #4285 - New Jersey Transit
Description:  Originally built as NYC E8A 4080 in August of 1953, the loco survived the NYC/PC collapse and wound up in commuter service for the New Jersey Transit. After that service was over, the loco ended up back in the NYC lightning color scheme with RPCX #4080 as its number as of 2015 based on a photo in the RRPA database.. Unfortunately,no photographer, location or exact day in 1981 was given for the photo. With help from Steve Coraggio & Tom Beckett (see comments below), the location is now identified as South Amboy, NJ. Thanks guys for your help!!!
