Just dropped a new NJT Railfan video on YouTube!
I just posted a New Jersey Transit Commuter Train compilation on my YouTube channel.
Among other trains, I got lucky and caught NJT #4507, a special "Saluting Our Military Members & Veterans" labeled locomotive, on it's run southbound out of New York City, and again later in the day on its northbound leg.

Based on typical locomotive configurations, the hoses in the front pilot area include:
Brake Pipe (BP): Usually located closest to the coupler, responsible for controlling train brakes.
Main Reservoir (MR): Supplies air for accessories and brake systems.
Actuating (Bail-off) Line: Used to release locomotive brakes independently of the train brakes.
MU Cables (Electrical): Located above the coupler, allowing one engineer to control multiple locomotives in a consist.
