Remarks & Notes

A Conrail GP30 and N5C cabin car occupy the Ford Lead in Teterboro, NJ. Both trace their heritage to the Pennsylvania Railroad via Penn Central. The Ford Lead is former Erie/Erie Lackawanna industrial trackage off the NJ & NY Branch (Pascack Valley Line). The local was most likely Conrail WJOI-31 which, at the time, was noted as operating to "Hackensack/Pearl River (NY) & Return". Usually the "return" involved the crew outlawing here and a WJNB-37 recrew taking over after the evening rush hour. This train was often referred to on the radio as the "Hayshaker" by Conrail crews who I suspect were former EL employees, as the nickname dated back to the EL.
