Two local children get an earful of a westbound New Jersey Transit commuter train, as it slows to a stop at the newly re-constructed Manasquan, NJ, station. As we can all attest to, standing this close to a locomotive’s 5-chime air horn can be almost painful, so these youngsters are most likely following dad’s orders to “cover your ears!” This train, led by NJT 4203 (GP40PH-2B, ex-PC, blt 11/68), is just a few miles from Bay Head Yard, the southern terminus of New Jersey Transits North Jersey Coast Line, where it will negotiate the loop track and prepare for its next run to North Jersey.

Doing things the ‘old fashioned way’, a New Jersey Transit employee hands up train orders at Manasquan, NJ. This is a highly unusual moment in 2006, and must be something urgent, perhaps a last minute Form D for the conductor to pick-up in between Bay Head and Long Branch, the two yards on the NJT North Jersey Coast Line. NJT 4205 (GP40PH-2B, blt 4/69) looks impressive in her new paint, while sister 4217 behind could use a good cleaning by the forces at the Meadows maintenance facility.
