Eric Kreszl Posted September 23, 2007 Share #1 Posted September 23, 2007 Hello Everyone, I was up in Hoboken Yesterday and took some photos. I didn't stay very long due to the weather and other reasons but it was pretty interesting. Here are the photos Enjoy, Eric P.S. ALP-46 #4613 had its head lights on and ditchlights flashing the whole time I was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted September 23, 2007 Share #2 Posted September 23, 2007 Where was 4613 going? also, I see the locomotive was on the east side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo M 201 Posted September 23, 2007 Share #3 Posted September 23, 2007 Where was 4613 going? also, I see the locomotive was on the east side. 4613 was there because it was probably just a Morris & Essex line train, to Dover maybe. But with the point that you brought up with the loco facing towards east is interesting. If it isn't a M&E line train, it had to be on NEC or NJCL. Great pics Eric! I saw 4613 doing the same thing when I got there. You must've got there after it started to rain. I was sitting at the HBLR station waiting for a Tonnelle train then got soaked more up in Jersey City Heights waiting for the 87 cause I selfishly wanted a Flxible Metro-D ride on the 87 down into Hoboken.

Tracknut Posted September 24, 2007 Share #4 Posted September 24, 2007 Thanks for posting more pics Eric. Has anyone ever seen any diesels on the east side? How was the exhaust facing east? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted September 24, 2007 Share #5 Posted September 24, 2007 Thanks for posting more pics Eric. Has anyone ever seen any diesels on the east side? How was the exhaust facing east? From my recent visit there not too long ago I can tell you those diesels put out a lot of exhaust. Most of the station is mostly covered with a few openings. The GP40s, F40s & PL42s all put out a lot of noise and exhaust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTransitFan Posted September 24, 2007 Share #6 Posted September 24, 2007 A pic of a diesel facing east would be a classic picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Kreszl Posted September 25, 2007 Author Share #8 Posted September 25, 2007 Hi Guys, Thanks for the replies. I got to Hoboken long before it started raining. The Gladstone branch does not have catenary wires on on weekends. According to NJ Transit The catenary poles which date back the DL&W are being restructured and as a result diesels had to be used. That was why 4150 was assigned to the Gladstone Branch. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostface Brown Posted February 1, 2008 Share #10 Posted February 1, 2008 Something like this;) http://erickreszl.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=1001145 Eric Nice photos Eric! I noticed that the locomotive in that photo had a cab right behind it, was there a cab on the other (west) end? If not, then there was probably a problem with the locomotive that was on the west end.
