That was the CNJ car float which ran between Jersey City and the railroad's off line terminal in the Bronx. The locomotive is the 1001, purchased second hand to replace AGEIR boxcab 1000. By this point in time, due to the increasing problems in the neighborhood, the railroad found it prudent to remove the locomotive to the relative safety of Jersey City when the day's work was done.

Wow, I didn't know they were moved that far upriver. I always thought they were designed for lateral W-E and back. Thanks for the info.
