CNJ/EL ran a pair of daily intrchange trains (ES-99?) between Elizabeth and Scranton that traversed CNJ to a connection (Wharton?) on the DL&W through the Gap to Scanton.Speaking of the ES-99 does anyone on the list have a few pictures of this train on either the High Bridge Branch or the NJ Cutoff that they are willing to share??
