Wow that pic on the Manasquan river bridge really brought back the memories. Around that time I was the regular fireman on that assignment. That has to be train # 1103. The job signed up in South Amboy around 6:15 am and passed over the bridge at 8:10 am. We would go around the loop and turn for #1120 getting back to South Amboy at 10:13 am. We would then lay over until 3 pm or official NY & LB time of 1500 and then grab a GG-1 and run Train # 1126 up to NY and then over to Sunnyside yard in Queens. Red Hilliard was the regular engineer on the job for many years including this time period. He hired out on the PRR in 1941 and could tell you many a story running double headed K-4s to Exchange Place out of Bay Head. During the early 70's the CNJ/ NY & LB was useing the military standard 24 hour clock so all times ie; Train orders, Bulletin orders, sign up times for crews and employee schedules had the four digit designation. Although we were Penn Central employees the NY & LB book of rules prevailed from WC/WOOD tower westward to Bay Head. Most of the old timers still referred to Bay Head as HD it's old telegraph designation. Those ex Pennsy E-7 s could really roll, I think they were geared for 117. The speed limit on The Branch, as we referred to it back then, was 60 mph and only 40 below Elberon. All E-units were maintained in Harrisburg and would shuttle back and forth on Mail 11 and Mail 10 to get back to South Amboy engine house. SA engine house would do running repairs but Monthly inspection and heavy repairs were Harrisburg Diesel Terminals purview. Six of them MU-ed and coupled to a 30 car Flexi-van train, Hang on ! I remember old Benny Eckman running them 110 mph between Harrisburg and Lancaster one fine spring Sunday morning and notching the throttle back to idle.
