They were something to see and hear in person. They were huge and made all the right sounds as they accelerated. October 1983 was their last run on the NJT line to South Amboy.South Amboy was a facinating place to railfan not just because the yard near the station but the engine change between the electric GG-1s and the E-8 diesels. And the manually opertaed crossing gates with gatemen and shantys made this locale look like the 1930s instead of the 1970-80's. Bill "Newkirk" |
