Norfolk Southern 1700 Erie Lackawanna at Linden, New Jersey
On Short Time. For those who have enjoyed Norfolk Southern Corp 1700 (SD45-2, Erie Lackawanna Heritage) making the somewhat regular trips between Oak Island Yard in Newark, New Jersey and Browns Yard in Sayreville, New Jersey, your time appears to have come to an end. With the introduction of PTC on the NJ Transit Newark Division, these units will not be able to run on this trackage after December 31, 2020. On Friday, November 6, 2020, Conrail Shared Assets OI16 is seen crossing over Morses Creek while servicing the Bayway Refinery in Linden, New Jersey, with Goethals Bridge in the background. This and other NS units not so equipped will be restricted to the Hoboken Division of New Jersey Transit or other Conrail Shared Assets assignments that do not cross passenger rail.
