My parents bought our first house in Matawan in 1963. Were told the line would be electrified shortly. Only took 20 years. By the time I started commuting we had moved to Holmdel so I caught the train at Hazlet.
The first deadhead was at 9:50, the second came through at 10:19, the MoW units got to work at 10:55, and the hy-rail truck came west at 10:51 and back east at 1:35.

Yes my home station! Amazing video.
Thank you!
My home station, too! This is great.
Nice catches Richard
I have cousins that live not that far from Matawan.
Cool.
Where abouts? Moved to Matawan as a kid in 63. Haven’t been back in ages. Looks so different
What time did the deadheads, extras, and equipment moves come through? If you don’t mind me asking
