James Boral wrote in Facebook: between 1968 & 1976. After that, Conrail would take over and the Penn Central Logos would disappear from these electrics. And the coaches would be gone by early 1980s, replaced by Jersey Arrows. I would say mid-late 1970s for the completed office building in the background.

David O'Hara wrote: As a little kid, I went to the Jersey Shore from here. Also by bus in front of Prudential. My mother had it lined up with somebody cause I remember she wasn’t with us and our grandmother was at the other end. You never forget the summer heat in Newark. Whenever I go down and it’s hot it reminds me of the past especially in August.
