New Jersey Transit operates a number of commuter rail lines in the state of New Jersey and New York. The lines operated by NJ Transit were formerly operated by the Pennsylvania Railroad, Central Railroad of New Jersey, New York and Long Branch Railroad and Erie Lackawanna Railroad, most of which date from the mid-19th century. From the 1960s onward, the New Jersey Department of Transportation began subsidizing the commuter lines. By 1976, the lines were all operated by Conrail under contract to NJDOT. The system took its current form in 1983, when NJ Transit took over all commuter service in New Jersey. The two networks were not integrated until the opening of Secaucus Junction in 2003, which enabled passengers to transfer between lines bound for New York Penn Station and Hoboken Terminal. Active Locomotives These locomotives carry NJTR reporting marks for revenue service. Not included are the EMU and DMU cars which are technically locomotives, but are listed in the passenger cars roster below. Retired Locmotives All NJDOT equipment became property of NJ TRANSIT as of January 1, 1983 In roster, units acquired by NJDOT from CR on 12/2/76 (GP40P, U34CH, SW9, E8, GG1, RDC, GP7) do not indicate ownership by Conrail, unless there was a repainting or renumbering. Non Revenue Locomotives All non-revenue locomotives are diesel-powered and legally carry the same "NJTR" AAR reporting marks as all other equipment without exception. As these locomotives lack HEP, they do not haul trains in passenger service unless performing a rescue. Non Revenue Locomotives References
