Apologies if there is a thread out there on this, I searched back to 2020 with no real topic to speak of.
I saw two NJT F40 locomotives in a freight consist passing by the La Plata, MO Virtual Railfan camera back on 04/25/2023. Clip can be seen here: https://youtu.be/rBhhvvmJiUg?t=666
They appear dead in tow and with boarded windows. The train was moving at a very good clip so it was hard to confirm the road #'s, but it looked like it may have been the 'sisters' 4119 and 4120. To my knowledge these were the last two active F40's on NJT roster.
Can anyone with knowledge confirm if these locomotives have been removed from the active NJT roster? If so, it would certainly be the end of an era on NJT and something worth noting.
Thanks in advance!
