Robert Hess	General	This photo shows engines on the 'stored' lines at Meadows enginehouse, Kearny, NJ during the depression years. Note the covered headlights on 1056 and what appears to be an E6s behind the B8. No 1680 to the right is another E6s. No. 1680 has been returned after service on the Long Island RR, as shown by the 'NJL' lettering on the pilot beam below the marker light on the engineman's side.	11/8/2020 10:20:27 AM
