Title:
CNJ 4-6-0C #153 - Central RR of New Jersey
Description:
Odd duck of a steam locomotive but an effective unit that served the CNJ as a multipurpose locomotive. Alco-Brooks built 35 of these 4-6-0 ten wheeler camelbacks in 1902 (class L5) for the Central RR of New Jersey. Although retirements started as early as 1934, the last of the class to go was in 1952 after serving 50 years. Specs - 69" drivers, 210 psi boiler pressure, 20x28" cylinders, 201,500 lb, tractive effort of 28,974 lb. The day in 1947 is approximate. The exact day in 1947 is approximate. The photo is from the collection of Bob Lorenz

CNJ 4-6-0C #162
Description:
Good photo by an unknown photographer of Central Railroad of New Jersey 4-6-0C camelback ten wheeler #162. Built by Alco-Brooks around 1901, this camelback had the fireman in a rear position while the engineer rode alone in the cab. Several pros and cons have been made about this configuration but it eventually died out as engines became larger. No date was given so an approximate one was used.

CNJ 4-6-0C #162 - Central RR of New Jersey
Description:
Beautiful action shot of the 1900 Alco-Brooks built 4-6-0 ten wheel camelback as its running with its passenger cars. You can easily see the distance between the engineer and the fireman at the back of the camelback loco. Note on back "C.N.J. 162 east with #722 nearing Westfield, NJ. 10/14/47". Specs - L5Ds class, 69" drivers, 210 psi boiler pressure, 20x28" cylinders, engine weight of 201,500 lb, tractive effort of 28,974 lb. The 111 camelbacks in the class were rebuilt and superheated by CNJ during the years with a variety of upgrades to several components. Some lasted in mixed service into the 1950's. Robert P. Morris photo

CNJ 4-6-0C #165 - Central RR of New Jersey
Description:
It appears this Central RR of New Jersey 4-6-0 camelback #165 was sitting in a stroage/scrap line at an unidentified yard when the photo was taken by an unknown photographer. This was about 1 month before being sold for scrap so this probably was the last photo taken of the loco. Built by Brooks Locomotive Company in August of 1901 (before ALCo merger), the loco served for nearly 51 years with rebuilds and reclassifications in 1919, 1920, 1927 and 1945. The loco was finally sold for scrap in October of 1952.

Title:
CNJ 4-6-0 #608 - Central RR of New Jersey
Description:
Built by Alco-Brooks in 1902, this class of camelbacks were designed with some attention to the fireman's position. According to Steamlocomotive.com,""Sinclair pays particular attention to the fireman's position in this class of camelbacks. He explains that a lot of the discomfort and peril of coal-heaving in a double-cab came from requiring the fireman to work from the tender, or worse, straddle the footplate-tender junction just a couple of feet above the rails. In this engine the "coal digger" is placed "on deck" which offered the advantage that "...with all the motion of the engine, the fireman and firehole door maintain the same relative position to each other all the time." As a result, the man moved coal over a shorter distance and at a lower height and would have a truer aim at the door. Another amenity was that the fireman was housed in a complete cab that could be fitted with "curtains over the doors that would make [him] decidedly snug, and furthermore, he can't fall out."' Date and location were not given. No photographer listed.
