PRR CNJ RDG B&O Interlude at Elizabeth

Elizabeth station was arguably the premier train watching spot in New Jersey for sheer variety in the 1950’s. Two extremely busy 4 track main lines crossed each other with the PRR going over the CNJ. On the Pennsy, GG1 powered “Clockers“ with P70’s, MP54 MU’s, long distance trains with run thru equipment from the New Haven and the various roads from the South, as well as freights. On the CNJ, commuter trains by the dozen powered by FM H15’s, Train Masters, EMD Geeps, and double ended Baldwin Babyfaces, Reading’s Crusader and Wall Street trains, the B&O’s fleet, and freights with a variety of CNJ and Reading power. Over/under shots were a regular occurrence. Step back in time and enjoy the show! Original film by Jack Grasso. Film transfer was done 20 years ago by Walt Berko of Railroad Video, Leola PA.
