Electrics. Here is a photo via Bob Lorenz that was taken at the Passenger Station in Harrison, New Jersey, c. 1955. Shown here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #4907, a GG-1 (2-C-C-2) electric built in Juniata during August of 1940 and rated at 4,620 horsepower. In this context, it's just crossed the Passaic River Bridge and is heading to New York City with a bevy of Atlantic Coast Line passenger cars. The Newark, New Jersey, skyline dominates the distance.
