Hey, Thanks Charlie. I got to cross reference that RS-3 to see what the CNJ # was. It looks like it could be from the same order as 1554 which is still in regular freight service. But, I just found this pic. It kind of looks like a bell, and it only shows up on some of the engines. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.northeast.railfan.net/images/lne658.jpg">http://www.northeast.railfan.net/images/lne658.jpg</a><!-- m -->
That CNJ shot gives you a good look at the CNJ marker lights that I copied and it also shows the horn over the short hood.

Just found it here <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://crcyc.railfan.net/locos/alco/rs3/rs3repaint.html">http://crcyc.railfan.net/locos/alco/rs3/rs3repaint.html</a><!-- m --> Looks like I was right It's 1545, part of the same order.. these were dual purpose engines, used in both freight and passenger service.. They had dual control stands, steam boilers, and all three different sets of cab signals that allowed them to be used any where on the system plus on run through trains into Philadelphia on RDG trackage.
