E's in the Bone Yard

In the yards behind the old CNJ shop which serviced the NJT fleet was the �Bone Yard� where the E�s that didn�t �Make it� were canibalized for parts or scrapped.
 

Some unlikely residents of the bone yard were three former Southern Railway E�s.  It was hard to belive that the engines that were once the pride of the line and pulled trains like the Cresent Limited would end up wasting away in a New Jersey bone yard.  Here NJT4333 (former SR 6903) awaits her fate (4-12-83)
Former Southern 6908 never received a NJT renumbering.  Once the pride of the Cresent she still looked classy in her tattered Southern paint.  (4-12-83)
Southern 6904 was starting to show the effects of being a relic in a parts yard (4-12-83) 
NJT 4331 former Southern E-8A (4-12-83) 
As the majority of NJT�s E fleet came from CR (PC) a more expected relic was 4270 ex PC (PRR).  The old PRR tuscan was starting to show thru the black PC paint. (4-12-83) 
NJT 4321 was a former PC (NYC) E unit which was wasting away at E-port

NJT 4322 was a former PC (NYC) E unit which was also wasting away at E-port
