U34CH Homecoming por Erie Limited Por Flickr: The former Erie Lackawanna/NJ DOT U34CH recently restored by the URHS in Boonton, NJ shares the spotlight with one of Bennett Levin's Pennsylvania Railroad E8As. The event was NJ Transit's "Meet the Heritage Fleet" event at Hoboken Terminal. The weather couldn't be better and the U34CH looked right at home in the terminal where it spent over two decades in service. EL 3372 U34CH PRR 5711 E8A

Looking exactly the same as it did in its Erie Lackwanna days, a set of Pullman Standard Dieseliner Push Pulls cars and a GE U34CH head north on a cloudy day in Ridgewood. As most know, these cars were re-branded as Comet cars and then, even later, Comet 1s, but when being designed they were called Dieseliners and were then just PushPulls when delivered. Ridgewood, NJ April 18, 1978

Wrong Main West por Erie Limited Por Flickr: 4163 leads a four-car train out of Rutherford station on the Bergen County Line. The train is running westbound on the eastbound main, perhaps because a Conrail eastbound was lined off track 1 for the Croxton Runner. NJTR 4163 U34CH

Pretty Ugly Thing por Don Kalkman Por Flickr: Bombardier ALP45-DP 4535 was quietly departing Secaucus with an outbound train out of Hoboken on a sunny warm evening in Jersey. The dual mode motors may not look like much, but they do the job. Just not as stylishly or as noisily as a GE U34CH.

NJ DOT Reunion por Erie Limited Por Flickr: One more look at the NJ DOT-era which was recreated in Boonton during the URHS open house event. The rain only helped to make both units appear even shinier. The missing window on 3372's cab door is obvious from this angle. EL 3372 U34CH (ex-NJTR 4172) NJTR 4101 GP40PH-2 (ex-CNJ 3672)

3372 Returns Home por Erie Limited Por Flickr: The star of NJ Transit's "Meet the Heritage Fleet" event at Hoboken Terminal was not actually a current NJ Transit locomotive. "Erie Lackawanna" U34CH 3372 is in the process of being restored to operating condition by the URHS in Boonton, NJ. Cosmetic restoration was (mostly) completed a little over a week prior to this event. Regardless, 3372 looks as good as it did in April 1971 when it was rolled off the GE assembly line at Erie, PA. It served commuters via this terminal for over two decades before retirement. A bit of historical nitpicking...the terminal's clock tower was not yet restored during the service life of the U34CH and would only (re)appear roughly 15 years after their retirement in 1994. In the end who really cares, 3372 looked great on home rails again. EL 3372 U34CH

A bit of sunlight makes its way through the Hoboken trainshed to illuminate a pair of hulking GE U34CHs that await their next trip to the suburbs. The 32 U34CHs built for the Erie Lackawanna and later operated by NJ Transit ruled diesel runs out of Hoboken for a generation. September, 1971

NJT 4176 heads west into Waldwick Yard on a Waldwick turn at WC interlocking in Waldwick, NJ 8/1994. The U34CH's were often assigned to Waldwick turns at the end of their careers due to reliability issues.
