Forgot to finish my Safari last year:)
Author: SD45X

9-6-19 We started the morning off at Danbury CT at the RR museum. We had a few minutes to kill before they opened. We had Dunkin Donuts across the street and came back. Still not open. Commuter train pulled up and shoved back. They let some fence company in to fix the fence. We followed a few minutes later and made a quick pass around before getting caught.

Last few before being offered donuts and an escort out:) He didn't know why nobody showed up to open the museum up.

I promised my mom the Statue of Liberty. We headed to NJ thinking it would be easier to access. It was. We came in at Bayonne. Found the shortline only by accident.  Then Google maps didn't show the road across the yard missing. But there was a SD40-2.
Then back out on the main road we headed to the Statue. Found this unit. What was it and what is it now?

The CNJ depot. And the statue. We were there ahead of the front preceding Hurricane Dorian

M&E shops, and the added "shops". They were contracted to add PTC to locomotives. They had GP40s inside from NJT.

The reason for the visit....The "green" E unit.
And what would be a surprise for me. The GG1s.

And some E units as well. It was dark, so we didn't stay long. We headed out for a hotel.

Thanks for sharing these. What a great set of photos. The less-than-sunny weather worked to your advantage.
I'm sitting here with a big grin. Your photo of CN 6786 made me check my old images. She was the first MLW FPA-4 I ever photographed. That was in London, Ontario on November 30, 1968 (over fifty years ago)!.

Morristown & Erie shops are in the Town of Morristown, NJ.

I work just up the road from there.
