(Also see the following post and the post NJT special move... on Friday, 7-23-10.)
It looks like that special, historical equipment that moved on the NJ Transit's Raritan Valley, moved thru the Westfield station today at high noon. We were at the farmer's market in the parking lot and paid no attention to the normal train whistles when the eastbound train pulled into or slowed down to pass the station. It wasn't until we turned around to head back to our car that we looked up and saw these incredible, vintage cars and engines roll by! It was an unexpected treat! A Pullman car, the GG1 and the Pennsylvania mail car--it's paint looked fresh!
Thank goodness I had my camera close by. I snapped these 8 photos as it slowly rolled eastbound out of the station.
We had no idea the reason or destination for this move; and just happened to stumble upon your biglittlerr Blog this evening in a quest for some information!
Wow! Interesting! We guess that this is just one more leg of it's journey up to Boonton(?). Guess they had to move east, then west and north.
