E60  Contributor's Pick!       
By this time in 1983, NJ Transit had acquired some Amtrak E 60s to replace he GG 1s, which were slated for retirement. This one has just cut off its train from New York at South Amboy, and continues the time honored tradition of the engine change, pulling past the crossivers to head for the small yard. Note the crossing guard shanty and the old hand operated gates. These would soon pass into history.
