I used to take the train from that station to Radburn. Even though I still live in Radburn. I still take the NJ transit to other places like New York city.

Is that the only line you ride on, there are so many line you should go on and they are very nice.

[ERIELACKU34CH]

i grew up with U34CH's that's why my screen name. pure comet 1s and U34s. right now i just got hired by New Jersey Transit. i'm a conductor trainee. i love it. i have to ride every line to get familiar. pu

[sarginto3]

including the ACL? Everyone? Every Stop?

[ERIELACKU34CH]

every line, every yard, every shop. (except atlantic city line. that is a world of it's own.)

Used to work here at North Fullerton Ave. as a

Block Signal Operator and Grade Crossing Watchman. Railroad had manual block signals then. There were 3 tracks between here and Montclair station. 3rd track in the middle.

[ERIELACKU34CH]

that is very impressive. i started watching trains up there in 1976, when i was in 6th grade, and the third track was already gone by then.

[sarginto3]

there was a third track, what engines and cars did you see, Comet Is? U34CHs? FL9s I think they still ran them?

[cbehr91]

FL9s never ran on any of the NJ Transit lines; even before NJT exsisted when it was still EL. Before the U34CHs came along trains were pulled by E8s, Geeps, or RS2s & 3s with 1920s steam-heated coaches.

[sarginto3]

what were FL9s for then, they had them

[ERIELACKU34CH]

FL9s were used on the the new haven lines in conneticut; where they are still used today.

Cool, used to live near there and caught the 6:53am train every morning from Watchung ave way back in the '70's

[ERIELACKU34CH]

back when it was erie-lackawanna, and they used U34CH locomotives (hence my screen name)

[NJT4111]

Do you have pictures of the U34CHs in action. I'm telling you Ben, i hope the NY&GL gets 3357 working again, I missed the best time in commuter history.

[ERIELACKU34CH]

i started taking train pics in the 6th grade. after high-school i went into the navy, when i was away my mom had lost the house, and everything in it got thrown away.
