Description:  Central Railroad Company of New Jersey RS-12 1207 at Jersey City, New Jersey on an unknown day in September 1964, Anscochrome by unknown photographer, Chuck Zeiler collection. Number 1207 was built in January 1953 (c/n 75447), one of four RS-12's (#'s 1206-1209) shipped to CNJ in January 1953. All four were equipped with steam generators and SKF roller bearings. The careers of the RS-12's in commuter service were short-lived, and they were soon placed in freight service. Retirements began around 1970, and by late 1972 only 1207 and 1208 remained at work. By January 1973 all of the CNJ's RS-12's were retired.

CNJ H15-44 1502
Title:  CNJ H15-44 1502
Description:  Central Railroad Company of New Jersey H15-44 1502 at Jersey City, New Jersey on an unknown day in July 1964, Anscochrome by unknown photographer, Chuck Zeiler collection. Number 1502 was built in January 1949 (c/n 15L16) and equipped with a steam generator in the short hood. The following is from the book, Fairbanks-Morse Locomotives In Color, by Jim Boyd:

The railroad that pioneered dieselization in the United States when it purchased a GE/Ingersol-Rand 1000 h.p. boxcab switcher in 1929 had a long and productive relationship with Fairbanks-Morse following the August 1947 convention of the Association of American Railroads in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Among the units displayed there by FM was H15-44 demonstrator 1500, which caught the attention of the Jersey Central, which well into dieselization with switchers as well as EMD and Baldwin cab units. Seeking a road switcher that could handle a variety of tasks, the CNJ found the H15-44 to be just what it was looking for and bought that demonstrator while placing an order for 13 similar units. When it arrived in September 1948, after overhaul at Beloit, the 1500 was CNJ's first road switcher, with Baldwins, Alcos, and EMDs to follow. The CNJ went on to purchase three H16-44's and a 13-unit fleet of Train Masters.
