Would have been useful to run MLVs (if the bridges could support them) on evac trains, like Amtrak helped evacuate New Orleans back in 2005. no. waldwick yard=4 tracks full of trains, only saw 2 engine numbers(4122, 4138) but saw at least ...

4193 and 4194 are the "newer" F40's. They came all rebuilt during the winter of 2003-2004. I could be wrong about that, might be early 2003. But it was definitely in the winter. I told JT a story about the 4194. They have always seemed to be quirky.

JT, I know that you are a qualified engineer, and I don't want to get into an argument with you, but I'm pretty sure that MOST trains exiting Sunnyside Yard come out of SUB 1 and SUB2 onto LINE2. Nah I totally apologize, you are 100 percent right....I had a brain fart right there.....hahahaha Its b...

Last I checked, the FAULT RESET button was going to be used on the cab cars in order to change power modes. Here's hoping the cabs are faultless :P Fault reset button is a trainline reset, it resets faults on the loco that would normally be able to be reset in the cab of the loco. Usually found in ...

Lady with luggage at Rahway: "Where does this train go?" Me: "This is the Trenton train." Lady turning to her travel buddy while walking away: "This isn't the train. It goes to Trenton, not Princeton." Left her at Rahway. It always helps to ask the right question. Where...

EMUs are more efficient and economical for shorter runs and where stations are many and located close together; locomotive propelled consists are more efficient and economical for longer runs, or where there are fewer stops.

How about a nose gunner on each train? :-D :wink:
