RCRY 7545 |
Description: |
Snowflakes swirl around this former Conrail GP10 at the Raritan Central's yard in the middle of Raritan Center. Originally built by GMD in 1957 as New York Central 6065. Renumbered as 7465, it would also run for Penn Central and Conrail before being rebuilt to a GP10 and renumbered again, this time as Conrail 7545. Retired and sold into private ownership in the 1980s, it would serve on both the freight trains of the C&S Railroad and excursions of Rail Tours Inc. at Jim Thorpe, PA before heading to New Jersey and its current owner. |

Title: |
RDG "Harriman" |
Description: |
Now part of the Bay Pony Inn along Route 113, this old wooden coach was originally from the Buffalo Rochester & Pittsburg, a predecessor of the B&O. Before coming to its current location this car once sat along the former RDG W&N line, a likely explanation for the Reading Company markings. |

PRR 5014 |
Description: |
Part of a historic equipment display next to the old Reading Company Manheim station. Since the Pennsy numbered their cabin cars in a six digit number series, it is unlikely that the current number is its original. |
