Back in 1965 Jersey Central ran freights over the PRR from Newark to Monmouth jct for several months due to a barge taking out the NY&LB draw over the Raritan river. They(CNJ) also ran some deadhead passenger moves over the NEC. The power was pure CNJ due to the fact quite a few off thier lcos were cab signal equipped. Back in the late 1950's Atlantic Coast line E-units ran thru to Newark,NJ from D.C. over the NEC due to the massive powdered snow caused failure of PRR GG-1's. I believe a set of RF&P and Seaboard Airline E-s made it to Newark also during that brief period. The diesels were cut off east of Newark, replaced by an electric motor,and run down to the Meadows diesel pit where they were fueled and watered up and sent back south on their next respective Florida train.I believe a few made the turn in Philly also.There pix of these movments on the net and in fan publications.Thanks for the interesting read.
I'll try to find some of those pics.
