NJTR 4503 (Atlas Model Company 100th Anniversary), Passaic River, Newark, New Jersey
A Weathered Engine. On Friday, January 26, 2024, NJ TRANSIT Train 6238 was led by "the model engine", NJTR ALP45-DP 4503 (Atlas Model Railroad Company, Inc. 100th Anniversary). After being bottled up on the Raritan Valley Line since its release, the social wrap locomotive has made its way out of captivity across the Newark Division this week. The consist is seen crossing the Passaic River in Newark, New Jersey just after departing the Newark Broad Street Station. A cycle of snow, ice, and rain have made it difficult to keep the white of the engine clean, but isn't this the look that the modelers want?
