The reason it took so long for 2253 to depart in the beginning was because someone ran to board at the last second and the train got held up. Today's equipment is 2004 on the point and 2018 brings up the rear as the trailing motor. After 2253 departs, the ending is a shot of the train on track 5, which was the New Jersey Transit Raritan Valley Branch local to Raritan, with GP40PH-2B 4204 on the point. The video was taken on Saturday, January 26th, 2008.

At a meeting in Raritan Township, Hunterdon County, Christie laid out proposed ethics reforms that take on some sacred cows of New Jersey politics, starting with equal treatment for the governor and the legislature when it comes to new, tougher rules on financial disclosure. Also included in the reforms: a complete end to dual office holding, a limit of one public salary per state official, and an end to pensions for officials convicted of crimes.

Roselle Park is where the ex LV Lehigh Line & the ex CNJ Raritan Valley line merge as one. It wasn't always the case though, until 1967, the CNJ trains would continue on their own ROW all the way to Jersey City and the waterfront terminal which is now Liberty State Park. The Aldene Plan changed all of that. A connection was built , allowing trains on the CNJ (today, the NJT Raritan Valley Line) to travel from Cranford through stations at Roselle Park and Union to the Hunter Connection outside Newark, which in turn allows access to the Northeast Corridor and Newark Penn Station. The freight trains continue on the ex LV ROW past the Hunter Connection to Newark & Oak Island Yard.
