George,

It was a real mishmash by that time. There were a whole lot of Santa Fe cars in the mix. Those had first come to NJ to work on the Erie Lackawanna (and were dubbed EL Capitans).

The PC had some old L&N cars I think.

Not in the picture, were any of the large fleet of Great Northern cars that were in GN Orange, GN Blue, and BN Green. Trains of those were called "Bay Head Builders" or "Jersey Builders."

That being said, I'm honestly not sure from the first pic exactly what was mixed in there.
