NJDOT E8A #4272 - New Jersey Dept of Transportation
Title:  NJDOT E8A #4272 - New Jersey Dept of Transportation
Description:  Here is another view taken by an unknown railfan of New Jersey Dept of Transportation E8A #4272 as it sat in the Bay Head, NJ, yard. Originally built as PRR E8A #5702A, this loco has bounced from one roster to another making it a true "boomer" loco. It was last photographed for the RRPA database in 2022 still wearing the EL paint scheme it picked up along the way. EMD sure did build long lasting locomotives!

Title:  NJDOT E8A #4272 - New Jersey Dept of Transportation

Originally built by EMD in September of 1952 as Pennsylvania RR #5702A, it bounced from roster to roster and has even been photographed as late as 2022 in its EL paint scheme that it picked up along the way. This is a true "boomer" loco! No photographer was lsited for this image.

NJDOT E8A #4325 - New Jersey Dept of Transportation
Title:  NJDOT E8A #4325 - New Jersey Dept of Transportation
Description:  Nice "face' view of New Jersey Dept of Transportation E8A #4325 taken by an unknown railfan as it sat in the Bay Head, NJ yard. Originally built by EMD in August of 1953 as NYC E8A #4048, it moved over to the NJDOT and later NJT to fill in their need for commuter power. No exact day or month was given for the photo so an approximate was used.

NJDOT E8A #4251 - New Jersey Dept of Transportation
Title:  NJDOT E8A #4251 - New Jersey Dept of Transportation
Description:  Originally built by EMD in August of 1953 as NYC E8A #4084, it bounced through the rosters during the NYC and PC collapses. It landed for a period of time on the New Jersey Dept of Transportation as seen here. An unknown railfan caught it in commuter service at Bay Head, NJ. No exact day or even month was given in 1981 for this photo so an approximate was used.

NJDOT E8A #4325 - New Jersey Dept of Transportation
Title:  NJDOT E8A #4325 - New Jersey Dept of Transportation
Description:  An unknown railfan capttured New Jersey Dept of Transportation E8A #4325 in commuter service in the Bay Head, NJ, area. It appears the side door is open showing the lit up interior - not something usually seen. Originally built as NYC 4048, it bounced from one roster to another during the tumultuous Northeast rail collapse and PC years before landing for awhile on the NJDOT roster. No exact day in 1981 was given for the photo so an approximate was used.
