Viewing Album: Was it still 1968 at South Amboy station?
By:
Alan Page
Dates:
3/11/1978 - 3/11/1978
Album Info:
In a scene that could be 1968 if not for the black paint and white numbers, GG-1 4872 led Keystone-laden coaches into South Amboy station in March, 1978. As the catenary ended in South Amboy, a CNJ GP40P and a PC E-7A replaced the GG-1 to carry the train onward.
