EMD Meet In Bay Head. A late model Chevy Tahoe patrol car from the Bay Head Police Department was making a routine check on the parking lot at the station as NJTR 4109 was pulling out of the yard for its next run, Train 4340. Both the locomotive and the police car were built by GM. When NJ Transit GP40PH-2 4109 (née CNJ 3677, EMD, 10/1968) was repainted into its as delivered 1968 paint scheme by NJT nearly four years ago in October, 2019, many railfans hoped for this retro scene to be recreated. On Monday, July 3, 2023, it became a reality as the veteran EMD led a number of shuttle trains between Long Branch, NJ and Bay Head, NJ on the NJCL under the enhanced summer schedule. NJ TRANSIT Train 4321 crosses the Manasquan River from Brielle towards Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey under a beautiful summer morning sun.
