Short Local in the Snow by Erie Limited Via Flickr: The sun is setting on a frigid January day as NYS&W WS-1 approaches the State Street crossing in Hackensack with two newsprint boxcars in tow. These cars were once a common sight on area railroads, as most major newspapers had rail-served plants spread throughout the region. Most of whatever limited newsprint business remains is now handled by truck. I assume those cars would soon be spotted at the Bergen Record plant just a few blocks east of this location.

“Along the catwalk to the towers of WMCA/570 and WNYC/820, two New York AM stations that once fought over exclusive rights to the 570 dial position (they shared time and then WNYC lost and had to become a daytimer farther up the dial), and are now diplexed on three 326-foot Truscon towers standing in an impounded flood-control pond alongside the Hackensack River along the Belleville Pike in Kearny, New Jersey, just off the East spur of the New Jersey Turnpike. The site was still sort-of-solid swamp ground when WMCA built the facility in 1940. WNYC moved there in 1993, also becoming a full-time station, with 10kw by day and 1kw by night. WMCA has been full-time with 5kw for the duration.” - via Wikimedia Commons

Yellowjacket and Bluebird by Erie Limited Via Flickr: SU-100 crosses the Hackensack River as it nears the end of its run from Binghamton. On this day the train was obviously handling Hanjin double stacks in addition to the usual manifest traffic. This intermodal traffic would have typically moved under the HAN-2 symbol. The blue GATX leased SD40-2s were common at the time.
