On Sunday, October 12, the public is invited to Historic Hoboken Terminal to join NJ TRANSIT in celebrating New Jersey’s rich railroad history with some of the agency’s iconic heritage locomotives and railroad equipment – all while learning about career opportunities available on the railroad. “Meet Our Rail Fleet” will be held on Sunday, October 12 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. near Track 17 in Hoboken Terminal. Admission is free.

Presented in conjunction with the United Railroad Historical Society of New Jersey, the Tri-State Railway Historical Society, and the Morristown & Erie Railway, this event will be a must-see for history buffs, train enthusiasts, and families alike. Attendees will have the opportunity to view and photograph a selection of NJ TRANSIT rail equipment, some of which is decked out in liveries paying tribute to its historical predecessor railroads. Exclusive merchandise including shirts, posters and calendars will be on sale at the event.  A recruiting table will also be available to those interested in joining NJ TRANSIT’s ranks as it works to serve the next generation of customers.

As a special treat, NJ TRANSIT will publicly unveil its newest heritage locomotive, GP40PH-2B No. 4202, which sports a livery honoring the former Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines (PRSL). This latest addition to NJ TRANSIT’s Heritage Fleet was built by the Electro-Motive Division (EMD) of General Motors for the New York Central Railroad (NYC) in 1965 and now wears an adapted version of the 1960’s-era PRSL Dark Green Locomotive Enamel (DGLE) scheme designed and applied by Rail Operations employees.
