The URHS's historical collection continues its journey to Boonton

Received the following via email.
Also see our post NJT special move... on Friday, 7-23-10.

The URHS's historical collection of railroad equipment continues it journey eastward to Boonton. This image shows the entire collection on the move passing through the Bridgewater, NJ station (MP 31.4) around 11 AM on July 24th. Behind NJT's 4205 (EMDX 14, PC 3262 & CR 3262) and 4212 (EMDX 24, PC 3272 & CR 3272) is a GG1, an F7, two Erie E8s, seven coaches of various heritage and a hopper bringing up the rear. The equipment's eventual destination will be Boonton, NJ were there will be better facilities to work on the restoration of this equipment than what was to be found in Lebanon. In the background can be seen the light towers of the TD Bank Ballpark.
