NJT classic cars in Pennsauken

Snapped these this summer at what looks like an NJT rail yard in Pennsauken, at 73 and River Rd.

Anyone know about these cars and what's with using the paint schemes?

That's SW1500 502, now used on RiverLine MoW.

Just starting here... That doesnt mean much to me besides RiverLine...

Lots to learn!

Same with the cars (used for RiverLine MOW)

Ballast Hoppers operated by the Southern New Jersey Rail Group (SNJX). Operators of the RiverLINE:

Not exactly. SW1500 502 is stored inoperable in the River LINE yard.

The pictures I took were from the late summer and it was operating.

Well maybe #502 can qualify as a "classic engine"! (tis' a shame she sits there wasting away though)

There's a five page thread on NJT 502 on the NJ Transit Light Rail topic.

Obviously, since its a 1972 unit and any vehicle 25 years and older is eligible for historic or classic status by NJ DMV!
