I was just want to verify that the former CNJ GP40Ps are still in use on the following lines: Pascack Valley, Bergen/Main Line (including Port Jervis) and the Boonton Line. Is there one line where there more likely to be utilized on? I'd like to get photos of all the engines, and I am missing a few. Any information would be appreciated.

They generally stick to the Hoboken Division Lines, especially the ones you mentioned in your question.
well, the M&E also has those units, not often, but they do. they are #'d 4100-4112. i will say that they are lately on the PVL.

They all end up there sooner or later.

They don't frequent one line more than any other. They go wherever they go. A train that runs trips on the M&E will also run trips on the PVL, ML or BL throughout its normal daily cycle. They don't set aside specific sets of trains for specific lines. Go to Hoboken and you will see whatever is currently in service just like Cruiser said.

I was thinking about some time at Hoboken before heading out toward one of the lines they normally run on. I appreciate the information.
go there during Rush hours (6am-9am)(4pm-7pm) and you should catch many of them.

That was during the end of rush hour on the same day.

I didn't get into teaching for the promotions or the pension plans or so I could get to the golf course by 3:45. I did it because I wanted to help you kids. I'd forgotten that, till today. -- Principal Peter Prickly.

Most of the GP40s on the NJCL are 4200-series, occasionally you'll see one of the old CNJ units.
