Remarks & Notes 
NS 3673 sitting in Stiles Street Yard. This engine is currently being used to drill a local refinery and put together outbound train 67Z. This yard used to service the massive 100 acre GM Linden Assembly Plant. Opened in 1937, it produced cars, trucks, SUV's, and was even used to make fighter jets during WW2. Production lasted until 2005 when the last vehicle left the line. Three years later the property was sold to a developer and the plant was demolished. Nothing remains of it today. Since then the yard remained empty, only being used to store NJ Transit equipment a few times. Only within the last year has Conrail started using it again as an overflow when Port Reading Yard gets too crowded. Also NS now parks their drill engine there as well. The catenary poles in the back are for Amtrak's Northeast Corridor.
