Thanks

If the Gladstone line has only four MidTOWN Direct trains and the rest are aging Arrow IIIs, whats the point of keeping the Gladstone electrified? Electricity is getting expensive and is not getting cheaper so why not remove the catenaries? It would cost NJ Transit less. Tell me what you think if i...

A few weeks ago (3 tuesdays ago?) i took my usual trip to doylestown via jenkintown from langhorne. Usual suspects on the west trenton line part, 4 silverliner 4's open one closed and shut down pan up. On the jenkintown to doylestown leg i rode a silverliner 4 pair, just 2. What could have happened...

I agree. I've known !@#$ a few years. He knows what he's talking about. That was the first time I ever saw the TGIV, and today, my bus aide saw her very first train on the Southern. We did two crossings in Tinton Falls, just to make sure she saw it up close and personal, as we were behind quite a f...

From the MMC tour: 5 at a time are being prepped for storage with windows boarded and pans removed. Eventually all will be moved to Port Morris. The tour guide believed that some NJT rules/locomotive financing rules are preventing their disposal. SEPTA is looking into "borrowing" them. Th...

But they do go to the state's general fund, from which the NJT operating subsidy is drawn. So, while it is, short-term, more immediate money for NJT, in the long run, to keep a healthier AC casino market would provide a longer term source of financial health for the state and NJT. You're crazy if y...

I was referring to the afternoon Morristown line trains with full length consists bound for Hoboken that run approximately 22 to 33 minutes after the previous NYP-bound trains. Still not sure which train you're talking about. Perhaps you could dispel all this mystery and just tell us what train you...

At the MMC tour it was said that a Las Vegas company is interested in the sets (P40s too). That would stink. Imagine if a set specifically designed to facilitate a viable (or not) transportation option to Atlantic City is now being used by it's competitor. Funny you should say that since it runs co...

Gravelyfan told me that it runs each line once each month. I had never seen it before. Bad scheduling, I guess. Now I am a complete person. Kind of a sissy horn, that's what caught my attention. Gravelyfan is a very wise person. I don't think he likes to take part in all of our craziness here all t...

When I woke up this morning, it was pretty cold. I was wondering if the switch heaters were needed, and if so, were the trains actually able to run? If the trains couldn't run, then I don't really know why NJT would need switch heaters.

Geez, 4405 is 10-20 minutes from my house.. you make it sound like I was planning on driving across the country to find the thing. I don't really want to speak on his behalf, but... I think the issue Cruiser had (and it raised my eyebrows) was that you were asking about the accessibility of 4405 al...

Yesterday at TransAction 2012 in Atlantic City, there was a session on the ALP45-DP in which a gentleman from Foley presented on the Caterpillar prime mover and a gentleman from Bombardier presented on the locomotive. Both were very good presentations full of very useful and detailed facts about th...

One go into diesel mode, the other go into electric mode hahaha Its okay JT, they were most definite...
