New and Old

[NW Mailing List]

One last note before we leave the 'Long Branch' and return to N&W / NS.
The PRR and CNJ each operated commuter service from Bay Head north
to the New York area.  Each operated its own equipment.  But each published 
its own timetable.  There was not a combined timetable which showed both.

Mike,
 
I'm attaching a picture of a PRR K4 powered commuter train outbound on the NY&LB RR near the east entrance of Fort Monmouth, NJ.  The train is The Broker out of Jersey City.  This was the 18th photo that I took with my brand new Argus C3 camera ("The Brick" with no exposure meter) that I bought at the PX there after saving what I could from my private's pay for several months.

While I have no photos of the Long Branch train action (   although my godfather, Bob Carroll was a fireman on the line) I wanted   you guys to know I was employed at Mommouth Park race track the summer it   opened as a counterman for the Harry M. Stevens Co. In fact, was there to   witness the enormous crowd that came out to celebrate VJ Day.

Jerome,
Greetings from Red Bank.
While I grew up in Norfolk, my     military career kept circling Ft Monmouth,
so I've retired here.Jersey     Central was gone by the time I got here and
Conrail "circus trains" ruled     the NY&LB (North Jersey Coast Line).
Then came the southern E8's     until the end of steam heat.
Now all electric to Long Branch! They have     no soul, but the commuters love them by comparison.

    Brings back       memories.  I grew up in Monmouth County NJ.  My first diesel was       1947, when the       
CNJ double cab unit (six were built) was introduced in commuter       service.  Paint scheme was
      
similar - dark blue and tangerine, with red accent stripe.  No       photos available; I was 12 at the time
      
and we did not have a camera.  Later repainted olive drab with       yellow stripes - not attractive at all.

Heritage Unit Jersey Central was a DPU on 23G today.       Here is passing over the almost 100 year old Columbia Ave structure (1918       shows on the fascia) that supports eight tracks of the Bristol yards.
