Its 1977, and the old Kodak Super 8mm sound movie camera is back at work. We catch the CNJ GP40P's on the NEC at Amboy and Westfield, NJ. Also see them on the NY&LB at Holmdel, and Bay Head. These trains where called the Jersey Builders, as they had cars from the Great Northern. Some ex-Great Northern passenger cars in orange, Glacier Blue and Cascade Green, We also see CNJ GP7's pass at Westfield, along with NJT's, 2 and 4 unit sets of RDC's. PC E8's and a E7 make an appearance at BayHead also while on a steam excursion with ex-FEC 248. All film was taken in 1977-78

I REMEMBER THESE TRAINS! I was young but loved trains. I grew up in little silver and saw these locomotives and cars all the time. I saw the red barons, CNJ gp40s, the F units in conrail blue and PC as well as ex Southern F units. Every passenger car color you can imagine. I hope you have more videos to post

@MilwaukeeSDman pretty good. went on for over a decade in new jersey, from the early 70's into the early 80's, when NJT finally got their act together.

Great video as always. Particularly like the RDC's. We used to have them around here, but they're pretty well all gone now.

Excellent fallen flag footage I didnt think the GP 40 Ps had that much get up and go the BUDD cars were cool too especially the 4 unit set perhaps dead heading and they could smoke it up with the best of em and the Red Baron Geeps were just beautiful I loved the vid got any more CNJ ?? thank fpr the post
