(Amtrak, NJ Transit, Septa & CSX Trenton Line)
Amtrak E60M 606 enters Trenton station in December 2000. 
An Amtrak sleeper in the train's consist. 
Amtrak AEM-7 906 passes through Trenton with a New York bound Metroliner on a cold December 2000 day. 
Amtrak AEM-7 914 pulls into Trenton station.  This photo is from the waiting area inside the station.
This photo sees the train change from track two to track one as it prepares to stop.
CSX ex-Conrail GP15-1s lead a freight train through the station. 
A New Jersey Transit train slows into the station.  NJT is allocated to the two outermost tracks.
About an hour later, the GP15-1s come back through the station with a fresh set of freight cars.
Amtrak AEM-7 902 pulls into Trenton station shortly after a NJT train arrived.  Any fan of NEC railroading loves to see two trains racing one another. 
Amtrak AEM-7 902 pulls into Trenton station with its Amfleet cars in tow.  Personally, I like the NEC direct paint scheme on the locomotives.
A short Septa train approaches West Trenton station.
CSX AC6000CW 5006 leads a westbound mixed freight train through West Trenton on a bitterly cold January 2001 day. 
As the train passes the station, the train whips up the snow laying on the ground.
The train passes the station and now the long string of freight cars goes by.
Some of the cars making uo the train.  I have not seen cars like this.  They are specially made spine cars for hauling garbage containers.  This train had about 70 cars.
Septa has a small yard at West Trenton for trains to layover as this is the terminus of the line.  This photo was taken in December 2000.
Amtrak AEM-7 pulls its Northeast Direct train from track three to track two on a snowy January 2001 day.
