There's those ex east Penn railroad locomotives. What station was that at. The blue and yellow caboose and locomotive used to be the Delaware coastline railroad.
Just to clarify, the 2174 and 2175 were never on the East Penn. They were both delivered to the MNJ from Metro East Industries a few years ago. The reason they wear the same colors as East Penn locomotives is because both the MNJ and ESPN are owned by Regional Rail, LLC. Also the GP7 (ex-Amtrak) and caboose (ex-NJT) were never on the Delaware Coast Line. Both were painted by MNJ employees into their current colors several years ago.
They need the unit anytime they go on the Transit main line. Which is mainly just to Middletown and down to Warwick. Has to do with signal cabs, etc that correspond to the main line.

One of my favorite short line railroads!
Mine too for sure. More to come! Got some chases in the queue!

This was outside Campbell Hall, NY. The MNJ runs throughout Orange County, NY and pretty cool how they are ex East Penn locomotives,

Late to viewing this area - what is the reason a NJ Transit loco is in use?
