What line did that use to be back in the day, from Aldene, through Elizabeth, to the current Chemical Coast?

What railroad/train was this? I wonder what kind of car could do that as trains are on that line every day.

Union? That could've been OI10 on that one track.

CNJ...roger that! I always wondered whose old station that was in Elizabeth, as I rode through on the NEC. Thanks.
