Title: 
Description:  NJT 4876 speeds through Rahway with a Bay Head train. This was the engine that gained notoriety when it crashed into Washington Union Station with a r{naway Federal in 1953. It was cut in half and removed from the basement of the station to run again, which it did til 1983. Note the Pennsy car behind the GG 1. There were two rubscription parlors on the North Jersey Coast Line, one that ran from Newark as part of the Jersey Central side of the operation. The other was a Pennsy car that ran on a New Ysrk train. Both cars ran an inbound trip in the morning, and an outbound trip in the afternoon, serving refreshments appropriate for the time of day.

Disaster Survivor
Title:  Disaster Survivor
Description:  GG-1 4876 -- a 1939 product of the Pennsylvania Railroads Altoona Shops -- heads south after leaving Elizabeth, New Jersey. Elizabeths famous speed-restricted S-curve lies just ahead. 4876 is one of the most famous GG-1s because in 1953 it crashed through the floor of Washingtons Union Station. The incident, which became known as the "Wreck of the Federal Express," was caused by malfunctioning braking equipment in the train. Miraculously, there were no fatalities. After the wreck, 4876 was simply cut up into pieces by PRR engineers, rebuilt, and returned to service. She served the Pennsylvania, Penn Central, Amtrak, and New Jersey Transit for many years afterward and was among a handful of GG-1s that ended the GG-1s reign in 1983, faithfully delivering passengers to and from Penn Station and South Amboy. This photo was taken in the Spring of 1983 -- a few months before the end.
