A heavy passenger train powered by General Electric E60MA No. 605 heads west (south) on the Northeast Corridor through Elizabeth, New Jersey, on May 21, 1993.
A good looking train for the day as 968 is fairly new and clean without "ghetto grills" over the windshields.

Amtrak E60 601 has a P40 and train in tow as it heads south through the Newark Airport station in September 2002.

these units will spell the end of the E60C's and the electric Navajo Mine RR in New Mexico. Former GECX tier 4 demos # 2026 and # 2027 were repainted by GE at Erie, PA and are bound for new owner North American Coal/ Navajo Transitional Energy Company in New Mexico. From what I have read the electric RR is done once these get placed in service. Madison, IL June 13th 2017

This looks like a Florida train with steam heated Heritage Fleet equipment, and 950 is fairly new as the window grills have yet to be applied. Amtrak 950-955 were delivered with steam generators and were called E60CP's'. 956 and up were E60CH's as they were delivered with HEP.
A different angle at North Elizabeth catches my friends getting the action on the platform on a Sunday morning many years ago.

Amtrak E60 #609 is southbound on the #3 main track at Bowie, MD sometime in the Spring of 1989. Note the original location of the numberboards on the front of the 609.
This was still an active MARC station at the time. In about a year the new station at Bowie State University would replace this one yet the crosswalk remained until about 10 years ago serving no purpose as it was completely isolated from public access.

What appears to be a Florida train of mostly Heritage Fleet equipment is passing North Rahway on a sour day.

I expect that most visitors begin their day on the BM&LP much like I did, sitting in the truck along highway 98 waiting for when and if the train runs. When there was no action for hours I admit leaving the shot to peak into the power plant for any hint of activity and even going back to the motel to recover the drinks I forgot in the fridge. Fortunately that didn’t kill the day like it often does. They started unloading the night train just after 9:00 and were ready to leave just after 10:00. Of course 10:00 on Arizona time in May is getting to be pretty high sun but at least they ran. The reason for the railroad is the Navajo Generating Station in the background. Along with the need to supply power to growing populations in Arizona, Nevada, and California, a major factor in building the plant in 1970 was the power requirements to pump water from the Colorado River to Central Arizona. The current operators own other alternate fuel plants and have decided not to renew the lease at the end of 2019. For now no other operators are stepping forward. The Navajo Nation voted against taking over operation. The power plant and railroad are likely to close. In case things don’t change I made a one day effort to get a look after a Phoenix business trip and was rewarded with a slow start but then a full day of juice chasing. Can’t remember ever doing that before and likely won’t again, at least in North America. May 4, 2019 just outside Page Az. Thanks to FIREMAN424 and steve55126 for background on this operation that gave me enough confidence to give the trip a chance.
