Local freight  Contributor's Pick!       
Commuter lines in Jersey are not known for having a lot of freight traffic, but in 1980 there was still enough on the Bay Head line to warrant a fairly sizeable train. Here we see the power up close, a new GP 15-1, a model CR bought 100 of not long after start up, with a train headed back to, I believe, Red Bank.
