Es waiting for the rush
Title:  Es waiting for the rush
Description:  One of the things I would do in that era was take either the PATH train to Newark, which yielded a good view of the storage tracks for the commuter trains, or ride the ex DLW out of Hoboken to Newark, which had a view of the engine tracks at Kearny. This day, it was a PATH trip. Going through Harrison, there was this pair of Es on a train that would go to Bay Head during the evening rush
