GP-38 #2924 at Clyde Road on the Millstone branch in Somerset, NJ.  April 16, 2001.  This branch is now abandoned.  The branch line came off the main line at County Tower in New Brunswick, NJ.  At one time, this branch went to East Millstone, NJ and served some factories.  There were a few stations back in the PRR & Penn Central days back when New Jersey was the "Garden State" and agriculture shipped by rail from these small towns, including Middlebush, NJ.  There were many farms in this region back then and the dairy farms would ship milk by rail. 

EMD GP-38; Built as Penn Central #7870; Serial number 36929; Order number 7291; Built January 1971. Norfolk Southern #2924.  Apparently became NS GP38-2 #5652.
