This was  an unusual day with the three little units. I was just after 
Hurricane Agnes  and previous days trains had been canceled. SE98 had not 
arrived at  Elizabethport the previous day so CNJ had no 6-axle units to send out 
on this  train. Can't say for sure but it may have been the only time a 
solid CNJ  consist like this made it onto the EL. The met the SE98, which had 
three SD's,  at this siding and the two trains swapped power. It was after 
dark by the time  the RS3-GP7, RS3 combo was headed back to Lake Jct. with SE98.
