Old home video footage of the engine change at South Amboy, NJ on NJ Transit's former New York & Long Branch RR (later renamed North Jersey Coast Line). At the time relatively newly created NJ Transit took over the commuter rail operations from Conrail who operated under contract with NJDOT. All of the equipment made during this visit still has the NJDOT paint and markings on them. This video shows the last few months of this tradition of changing from electric to diesel locomotives that was a carryover from the PRR/PC days.

My mother's Aunt lived on John St. I would walk up to the tracks crossing and watch the swap out whenever we visited her. '74-'75 time period.

Probably the best fidelity video and audio I’ve seen about a GG1

I Ilived in NJ 1982-4. Several times I went to S Amboy to watch the change-over, so very nostalgic for me to see this, By then the GG1's were in poor shape with large and visible cracks in their frames.

They put4876 back together after the Union Station and it ran for at least 30 more years? Bet you today's locos couldn't replicate that.

Thanks for the memories I was a fireman on the GG1 and E-8 trains off the So Amboy list . the engine exchange was one of my favorite memories.

Nice shots and sounds of a GG1 short of its and other remaining "G's" retirements. Having a video tape camera in 1983 was quite rare and an expensive investment. Thanks for sharing!

Amazing footage. Thanks for sharing! Do you have any more old NJT footage or footage shot in NJ that you'll be uploading in the future?

The New York and Long Branch Railroad, where locomotives, motors, and rolling stock go to die.
