Catch of The Day |

Numbers from the Past |
| Description: |
Today I was lucky enough to acquire a pair of number boards from a long retired and scrapped NJ Transit U34CH. While these boards are not the originals it was delivered to the Erie Lackawanna with in 1971 they still hold significance to me as these are the engines that as a kid blew my mind with their strange sounds and excessive smoke. The 4163 was one of the many U34CHs that wore its original "Blue Bird" NJDOT paint for its entire service career. It only received a handful of paint mods when its ownership was transferred to NJ Transit in 1983. These small changes included painting the the nose "platinum mist" silver and applying a large NJ Transit logo and the removal of the NJDOT blue arrow logo. The fate of this engine seems to be a mystery as to exactly when and where it was scrapped. It appears all that remains of it are these boards unless other collectors were lucky enough to get the horn, bell and the other two boards. I posed the two boards in some saucy afternoon light at HX Drawbridge. A piece of former Erie Lackawanna track this engine crossed probably hundreds of thousands of times in its career. In the background a modern NJ Transit PL42AC crosses the Hackensack River. Time will tell if the retirement of these modern locomotives will be a sorely felt by railfans as the U34s was. |
