Great photos as always Bob.

I was told by a CMSL insider that 1523 was fired up last Tuesday (May 18) and "she purred like a kitten."

Unit was running on the south end of the CMSL fantrip this past Saturday (5/22), but it was leaking water all day. Perhaps it needs radiator work?
See Mike DiMunno's photos of the trip - there is a link through the New Jersey Railfan forum.

Wasn't the 1523 sitting at Whippany Yard for years?... I know Black River has a 1500 series engine running. Which one was leased to Cape May

I believe the CNJ 1523 was formerly at BR&W. 1524 may be in storage at the NJT Morristown Coach yard - not sure though.

Just found this post...
Wow, 1523 is a BEAUTIFUL engine....
Man - I've GOT to dig up some of my OLD CNJ shots and scan them.
Brings back great memories.
Thanks!

When it visits Hoboken and is spotted at the bumper on one of the terminal tracks, it evokes memories of JC Terminal.
