EL GP7 1233 (RF)         
Four GP7's are at the head end of an Eastbound TOFC train in Croxton Yard at the end of their trip from Port Jervis. The crew will get some rest at the Railroad YMCA on County Road before being called for a Westbound back home. Port Jervis was the home terminal for all the through freight crews on the New York and Delaware Divisions.

Dave Abeles General Wow, 4 geeps on a piggyback train in 1973! VERY COOL. Must have sounded great! 2/6/2008 10:30:57 AM
Kevin DeGroff General Whenever an eastbound UPS train was running late, the long distance power would not make Croxton before the cutoff time for the westbound counterpart. So the long distance power would be taken off at Port Jervis and serviced there for the westbound train, with divisional switchers handling the relay in both directions between Port Jervis and Croxton. 12/5/2009 12:08:49 PM
