Random NJ Transit and Amtrak Shots from My August 2024 Trip to New Jersey

- A compilation of random, miscellaneous videos from my trip to New Jersey during the week of August 12th, 2024. I figured I would lump all these videos into one since I didn't spend very much time at any of these locations at one time (with the exceptions of the two nights I got stranded at Secaucus Junction).
Speaking of that, my first trip after work, I decided to take the train back home to Summit. I started at Bradley Beach station and seamlessly switched trains at Long Branch. Once I reached Secaucus Junction however, I didn't get there in time to catch the next outbound Morris & Essex. I wound up waiting for well over an hour not to catch that, but instead a Montclair/Boonton train to Newark Penn, where I waited another half hour for that Morris & Essex train (I could've stayed at Secaucus Junction, but I do stupid things sometimes).
I went to Union, NJ for the next trip for some CSAO (CSX and Norfolk Southern) freight action, and I saw some trains along the way. Because I left so early in the morning, I wasn't able to switch trains at Secaucus Junction, so I had to go all the way to Hoboken. I wound up at Secaucus anyway because my train had gotten severely delayed and I waited in Hoboken for a half hour (I wanted to railfan there, but there were no arrivals nor departures). I think I missed a bunch of westbound freights as a result of that.
The trip back was an even longer wait than last time, as the Morris & Essex train I was waiting on got cancelled, so I got a surprise train watching session at Secaucus Junction for an hour and a half and got lots of NJ Transit and Amtrak express trains (and I even got to see NJT 4640, the disco stripe wrap for the 40th Anniversary of NJT operations).
Apart from a few other random clips, that was all I got.
