NJ Transit Celebrates Historic Trains, Talks Jobs At Hoboken Event: PHOTOS

HOBOKEN, NJ — Old trains provide a glimpse into an area's industrial past. New Jersey's commuter transit agency, NJ Transit, partnered with other organizations on Sunday to present historic trains and provide information on job opportunities at a "Meet Our Rail Fleet" event.

“Meet Our Rail Fleet: Past and Present” was presented in conjunction with the United Railroad Historical Society and the Whippany Railway Museum.

"This event will be a must-see for history buffs, train enthusiasts, and families alike," noted the agency.

Representatives were on hand to talk about jobs (see the symbol to scan among the above photos) and offer maps and giveaways.

Among the items on display was a historic Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Multiple Unit Railcar to commemorate the “last run” of that equipment, which occurred at Hoboken Terminal four decades ago in 1984.

Known as “Subscription Club Car No. 2454,” the train operated on the so-called “Millionaire’s Express” from Hoboken to Gladstone and was the transit agency said, "recently restored to its 1930s splendor."
