It Really Is Blue. On Sunday, September 24, 2023, United Railroad Historical Society of New Jersey unveiled a major step forward in its newest restoration project. GE built U34CH 3372 was purchased by the New Jersey Department of Transportation for Erie Lackawanna to use in commuter service with Pullman-Standard built Comet cars on its diesel lines. Chronically unwashed in that era, its colorful appearance is jarring to those that saw them in service. Ultimately inherited by NJ Transit, it was retired in 1994 and donated to the URHS. It sits at the "Museum For A Day" event at Boonton, New Jersey on display next to NJTR GP40PH-2 4101, a heritage unit on loan from NJT for the day, in matching 1970s era NJDOT paint.
