Viewing Album:  NS1700EL -Erie Lackawanna parked at South Plainfield, NJ
 
By:Steve Coraggio
Dates:4/30/2023 - 4/30/2023
Album Info:On Sunday April 30,2023, I received an email notification from heritage units.com of this engine being in South Plainfield, NJ (Middlesex County). It was assigned symbo train # OI 95- OI= Oak Island. re Oak Island Yard Newark, NJ (Essex County). I have photographed this engine many times since it was painted by NS back 2015 to its original paint scheme and was one of six former SD 45-2's that were power previously on OI 16 which went from Oak Island Yard to Browns Yard in Old Bridge, NJ. Nice to see this engine. A rainy day when these pictures were taken.
