Plainfield, New Jersey

Here's a Central Railroad of New Jersey camelback locomotive with a passenger train passing through the Plainfield, New Jersey. This card is postmarked 1914. I did some research and can't find any documentation on the CNJ handling a train named the 'Chicago Limited', especially since the CNJ never serviced Chicago. The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad  did have a train to Chicago that used the CNJ's tracks in and out of Jersey City named the 'Capitol Limited', although it wasn't inaugurated until the mid-1920s. This may have been an early predecessor.
