Oh cool, a U34CH! This is one of my personal favorites.

Whats interesting about this particular unit, is that when they repainted this locomotive from the Bicentennial paint back into the NJ DOT paint (renumbering the into the 41XX series instead of the 33XX numbers), they used EL's Freight locomotive stenciling, instead of the normal passenger stenciling. As a result, the silver stripe did not line up with the window bands of the commuter cars like it should.
