CNJ On The NY&LB. The North Jersey Coast Line (NJCL) was a dual railroad operated line, with the Central Railroad of New Jersey and Pennsylvania Railroad both providing service on the "New York & Long Branch". When NJ Transit GP40PH-2 4109 (née CNJ 3677, EMD, 10/1968) was repainted into its as delivered 1968 paint scheme by NJT nearly four years ago in October, 2019, many railfans hoped for this retro scene to be recreated. On Monday, July 3, 2023, it became a reality as the veteran EMD led a number of shuttle trains between Long Branch, NJ and Bay Head, NJ on the NJCL under the enhanced summer schedule. NJ TRANSIT Train 4321 crosses the Manasquan River from Brielle towards Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey under a beautiful summer morning sun.
